Do I need to be quarantined after leaving the highway during the epidemic? How to quarantine for 14 days after leaving the highway?

We all know that the new coronavirus is a relatively powerful virus at present. It is highly contagious and is mainly concentrated in Wuhan and other areas. In order to prevent the spread of the epidemic, many places have implemented traffic control. So do you need to be quarantined when you get off the highway during the epidemic? Let's take a closer look!

Do I need to be quarantined when I get off the highway during the epidemic?

Won't.

There will be a temperature check at the exit of the highway. If everything is normal, there will be no isolation. If typical symptoms appear, a detailed examination or even isolation is required.

How to quarantine for 14 days after getting off the highway

1. Living alone

It is best for the isolated person to have a separate room, which should be warm, comfortable and located on the sunny side (if the requirements for living in a single room cannot be met, they should sleep in separate beds, and other members should keep a distance of more than 1 meter from the isolated person).

2. Independent bathroom

To prevent cross infection, quarantined persons should have separate toilets and bathrooms. If independent bathrooms are not possible, they should be disinfected and ventilated in a timely manner after use by the quarantined persons.

3. Ventilation

The room should be well ventilated, the door should be small, and double windows are best to ensure good ventilation.

4. Exercise properly

You can do some low-intensity exercises, such as sit-ups, push-ups, and brisk walking. The amount of exercise does not need to be too large, and you should not consume too much energy. When you feel tired, do not continue to exercise, and rest is more important.

Can I drive on the highway during the epidemic?

During the epidemic, in order to ensure the flow of materials and the movement of rescue forces, the highways will not be closed. However, traffic control will be implemented at the entrances and exits of the epidemic area to prevent the spread of the epidemic and ensure the flow of urgently needed materials and personnel in the epidemic area.

Relevant departments at all localities strictly implement the "five prohibitions" requirements put forward in the notice of the General Office of the State Council, that is, it is strictly forbidden to close the entrances and exits of expressways without authorization, it is strictly forbidden to block the trunk roads of various provinces, it is strictly forbidden to hard isolate or dig up rural roads, it is strictly forbidden to hinder the passage of emergency transport vehicles, and it is strictly forbidden to set up epidemic prevention and control quarantine points or testing stations at expressway service areas, toll stations, provincial boundaries and provincial trunk roads without authorization. At the same time, strengthen the joint consultation and dispatch between the ministry and the province, and guide the provincial transportation authorities to actively coordinate with other relevant departments based on the feedback from various places to do a good job in opening up the closed expressways.

What should you pay attention to when driving back home during the epidemic?

1. Determine your own health condition before deciding whether to return

In order to respond to and prevent the spread of the epidemic, many toll stations have quarantine checkpoints. Drivers returning should slow down when approaching, obey traffic rules when encountering queues, and actively cooperate with quarantine inspections. While waiting for quarantine, drivers are advised to wear masks, do not get off the car and walk around at will, and keep the car well ventilated to avoid viral infection. At the same time, if you are in poor physical condition or have a cold or fever, it is recommended not to return. It is best not to move around and stay at home to isolate yourself. This is the best choice.

2. Vehicle Condition Detection

When driving for a long time, you need to give your car a full physical check before going out, so as to ensure that there will be no minor problems on the road. During the long-distance self-driving during the Spring Festival, the tires of the vehicle will inevitably experience the torture of different road conditions. Therefore, before going back, you must carefully check the tire condition, pay attention to the tire pressure, check the spare tire, and find hidden dangers in time.

3. Pay attention to the air conditioning settings

In this case, it is particularly important to flexibly use the air conditioning internal and external circulation mode. In places with dense traffic, try to use the internal circulation mode, which can effectively block the outside air and reduce the risk of infection by the new coronavirus. On highways with few cars, you can switch to the external circulation for a short time to refresh the air in the car. Generally speaking, it is recommended to switch to the external circulation every half an hour, keep it for 5 minutes, and then switch back to the internal circulation. In addition, please be careful not to switch to the external circulation mode in places with dense traffic such as service areas and gas stations.
