How to prevent and control the epidemic at home, in the office, and when shopping in winter? Beijing CDC issues reminder

Recently, local cases of COVID-19 have appeared in many places, and personal protection against the epidemic has received widespread attention. So, how should we clean and disinfect at home, in the office, when going out, and when shopping to prevent the spread of the epidemic? Beijing CDC has issued a reminder for everyone:

Home

1. Ventilate frequently. Depending on the specific weather conditions, ventilate 2 to 3 times a day, each time for no less than half an hour, and keep warm when ventilating.

2. Wash your hands frequently. Be sure to wash your hands when you go out and come home. Wash your hands or use hand sanitizer after touching items that may be contaminated.

3. Change and wash clothes. Change and wash clothes frequently when going out. If necessary, you can sterilize them by boiling them in boiling water or soaking them in 84 disinfectants (follow the product instructions for use).

4. Keep household surfaces clean. Door handles, telephones, desktops and other surfaces that are frequently touched by hands should be cleaned every day. If necessary (such as when guests visit your home), you can wipe and disinfect them with alcohol or 84 disinfectant (use according to the product instructions).

5. Disinfect tableware: Put the tableware that needs to be disinfected in a special pot and boil it for more than 15 minutes.
