Wu Fan has five suggestions for the elderly: get vaccinations, wear masks, enhance immunity, and children pay more attention to the health of the elderly | Epidemic Prevention and Control Press ConferenceFly into the homes of ordinary people
At the 108th New Coronary Pneumonia Epidemic Prevention and Control Press Conference held in Shanghai, Wu Fan, a member of the Municipal Epidemic Prevention and Control Public Health Expert Group and Deputy Dean of Shanghai Medical College of Fudan University, said that the elderly are a particularly important group in daily protection. In general, most elderly people will suffer from one or several chronic diseases. Compared with adolescents, their immunity is relatively lower, and they are also susceptible to the new crown epidemic. In daily work and life, especially in the autumn and winter seasons when various respiratory diseases are frequently occurring, it is particularly prone to the risk of various diseases superimposed on occurrence. Here she especially provides five suggestions for the elderly.
First, enhance protection. Vaccine is the best way to enhance protection. Not only the new crown vaccine, if the elderly who has not received the new crown vaccine, make an appointment to get the new crown vaccine. If the second shot is more than half a year old, you can get a booster shot. There are other vaccines for the prevention and control of respiratory diseases. There are flu vaccines and pneumonia vaccines. Even if you don’t have the new crown, you will have fever if you are infected with ordinary flu, causing some unnecessary panic. In this season, especially when there are some epidemics spreading across the country, it is recommended that you use the vaccine well to improve your own protection.
Second, it improves immunity by itself. Many elderly people now pay great attention to self-care. Of course, they must have regular lives, regular work and rest, pay attention to rest, pay attention to nutrition, and exercise properly. At the same time, they must often open windows for ventilation at home, especially in winter, and they must be very particular about ventilation in the morning and at noon every day. . In addition, you must have a happy mood, don’t let things bother you and entangle you, and maintain a very good immunity.
Third, elderly people should not go to crowded places, and they can’t go if they can, especially places where people gather. If you must participate in some social activities, you must pay attention to the “three-piece suit” and the “five-year-old”, especially to standardize the wearing of masks. Wu Fan said that many times she was also paying attention to the fact that it is common for elderly people walking on the street, walking around in the community or taking the elevator to not wear a mask. When asked, it turned out to be “horrified” because of wearing a mask. Therefore, Wu Fan particularly hopes that the elderly should master this “skill” and when they must wear it. For example, they can take it off for a while while keeping a distance in an open environment. The other is to wash hands frequently, maintain social distancing, etc. These personal protective measures must be done well.
Fourth, if you don’t need to leave Shanghai, you must have something to do. You have to see if these places happen to have an epidemic at the moment, and if there are areas with medium and high risks. If it is in these areas, you are advised not to go.
Fifth, it is recommended that family members who live with the elderly must pay attention to the health status of the elderly. If they have some abnormal conditions and symptoms, the abnormal conditions of the elderly at this time are easy to be taken seriously and easily ignored. . Some people think that anyway, the seedlings are always sick, and it is not very good at ordinary times. I just carried it through today, and I suggest that you don’t do this. There are respiratory symptoms such as fever and uncomfortable throat. Of course, there are also olfactory changes and other symptoms closely related to the new crown. You must go to a medical institution for treatment as soon as possible. At the same time, you must take personal protection when you go. Regardless of whether you are accompanying family members, you must take personal protection and try not to take public transportation. There is really no way. It is recommended that you still fight and do a good job of protection; remember not to take the medicine yourself. (Zuo Yan, chief reporter of Xinmin Evening News)
