Sporadic cases have appeared in many places in China. Beijing CDC: We must not relax our awareness of prevention and control for a moment.

People's Daily Online, Beijing, November 22. At present, the overseas epidemic is still very serious, and sporadic cases have also appeared in many places in China. How should individuals protect themselves? This afternoon, at the 178th press conference on the prevention and control of the new coronavirus pneumonia in Beijing, Pang Xinghuo, deputy director of the Beijing Center for Disease Control and Prevention, reminded: Beijing has entered the high incidence season of respiratory infectious diseases in autumn and winter, and the risk of the new coronavirus pneumonia epidemic has increased. Citizens should not be careless, and their awareness of prevention and control should not be relaxed for a moment. They should maintain good hygiene and health habits for a long time, implement various epidemic prevention and control measures, and do a good job of personal protection.

First, insist on wearing masks scientifically. Develop the good habit of carrying masks with you. People who take public transportation, elevators and other confined spaces, go to the hospital for treatment, have fever or respiratory infections, and are engaged in medical and health care, transportation and other high-risk exposure personnel should wear masks correctly. It is recommended that the elderly, the weak, and patients with chronic diseases wear masks when going out.

Second, maintain a safe social distance. When citizens go to crowded places, they should keep a safe social distance of at least 1 meter from others, and queue up in an orderly manner when there are many passengers.

Third, maintain good personal hygiene. Wash your hands frequently, using soap or hand sanitizer and running water, or disinfect with hand sanitizer. Do not touch your mouth, eyes, or nose with your hands before cleaning your hands. Cover your mouth and nose with your elbow or a tissue when coughing or sneezing. Do not spit anywhere, wrap oral and nasal secretions with a tissue and discard them in the trash.

Fourth, keep the room well ventilated. The living room and office space should be well ventilated to avoid polluted air. Maintain a certain amount of air flow and natural ventilation.

Fifth, pay attention to food safety and hygiene. Try to buy fresh products in regular supermarkets or markets. When shopping, you can use disposable plastic bags to cover your hands to select frozen and chilled foods to avoid direct contact with your hands. Wear a mask at the same time. When buying frozen foods from abroad, pay attention to food quarantine information and disinfect the outer packaging. When handling raw and cooked food, keep them separate and cook them thoroughly. Keep your hands clean when shopping, handling food, and before and after meals.

Sixth, consciously insist on safe travel. Avoid going to work or school when you are sick. If you have fever or respiratory symptoms, try to avoid going out, especially if you have had close contact with patients with fever or respiratory infectious diseases recently, and try not to take public transportation. When you need to take public transportation, try to choose non-contact methods such as swiping cards and scanning codes to recharge and purchase tickets. Comply with the epidemic prevention regulations of public transportation and subway departments, such as wearing masks and taking body temperature.
