At present, the overseas epidemic continues to spread, imported confirmed cases occur from time to time, and many places have reported local confirmed cases and imported cold chain food packaging positive for the new coronavirus nucleic acid test. The epidemic prevention and control situation remains complex and severe. The Beijing Center for Disease Control and Prevention reminds citizens: Don't be careless and don't relax your awareness of prevention and control for a moment.

1. Adhere to scientific wearing of masks

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 exposed to high risks such as those engaged in medical and health care and public services should wear masks correctly. It is recommended that the elderly, the weak, and patients with chronic diseases wear masks when going out.

2. Maintain a safe social distance

When you go to crowded places, keep a safe social distance of at least 1 meter from others. When there are a lot of people, wait in line in an orderly manner to avoid crowding.

3. Maintain good personal hygiene

Wash your hands frequently with 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.

4. Maintain good indoor ventilation

Living rooms and offices should be well ventilated to avoid polluted air. Air conditioners should be cleaned and disinfected before use in winter to maintain a certain amount of air flow and natural ventilation.

5. Pay attention to food safety and hygiene

Go to regular supermarkets or markets to buy fresh products. 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 customs food quarantine information and disinfect the outer packaging. When handling raw and cooked food, keep raw and cooked food separate and cook them thoroughly. Keep your hands clean when shopping, handling food, and before and after meals.

6. Consciously adhere to safe travel

Avoid going to work or school when you are sick. If you have a 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, try not to take public transportation.

When taking 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, subways and other departments, such as wearing masks and taking body temperature.
