The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Gansu Province issued a health warning in February-the temperature rises and warms up and beware of respiratory infectious diseases entering February, increasing the risk of respiratory infectious diseases such as influenza and novel coronavirus infection. Emphasis should be placed on the prevention and control of respiratory infectious diseases such as novel coronavirus infection and seasonal influenza, and special attention should be paid to norovirus infectious diarrhea with high incidence in winter and spring. In order to maintain personal protection against novel coronavirus's infection, we should insist that the current novel coronavirus infection has been adjusted to Class B tube, keep social distance, cough etiquette and pay attention to cleaning and disinfection and other good hygiene habits. People such as the elderly, patients with chronic basic diseases, pregnant women, children and the disabled should try their best to avoid going to crowded public places. The elderly, patients with chronic basic diseases, pregnant women, children and other people such as fever, respiratory infection and other symptoms. The elderly, patients with chronic basic diseases, pregnant women, children and other groups should use symptomatic drugs reasonably according to the relevant guidelines.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention of Gansu Province issued a health warning for February.
Watch out for respiratory infectious diseases when the temperature rises.
In February, the temperature has rebounded, but it is still cold and warm, so we should pay attention to the increase and decrease of clothing. This month, after the Spring Festival, there is a large mobility of people returning, increasing the risk of respiratory infectious diseases such as influenza and novel coronavirus infection. Recently, the Gansu Provincial Center for Disease Control and Prevention issued a February health warning that emphasis should be placed on the prevention and control of respiratory infectious diseases such as novel coronavirus infection and seasonal influenza. In addition, special attention should be paid to norovirus infectious diarrhea, which has a high incidence in winter and spring.
Novel coronavirus infection
Personal protection should be maintained in family hygiene.
At present, novel coronavirus infection has been adjusted to Class B tube, epidemic prevention and control has also entered a new stage, but disease prevention can not be ignored. In particular, vulnerable groups such as the elderly and people with underlying diseases are still at high risk of infection.
Preventive measures against novel coronavirus infection are as follows:
When you go out for the Spring Festival, you need protection. During the Spring Festival travel period, there is a large flow of people and more gathering activities, which is easy to further increase the risk of epidemic spread. travel strategies should be made in advance to understand the destination, travel with off-peak travel, and avoid or avoid going to places where crowds gather as little as possible. Advocate suspending going out and returning to work during infection.
Family hygiene should be maintained. Every day to do a good job in the cleaning and natural ventilation of the home environment, clothes and bedding should be often washed and dried, and garbage should be cleaned in time.
Personal protection should be maintained. Adhere to the principle that "everyone is the first responsible person for their own health", adhere to good hygiene habits such as frequent hand washing, wearing masks, regular ventilation, "public chopsticks", maintaining social distance, coughing etiquette, and paying attention to cleaning and disinfection, consciously improve health literacy and self-protection ability.
Special attention should be paid to the protection of key groups. During the epidemic period, people such as the elderly, patients with chronic underlying diseases, pregnant women, children and the disabled should try their best to go to densely populated public places, and they should wear masks throughout the trip. During the epidemic period, people with weak immunity such as the elderly, pregnant women and children are not recommended to travel long distances. If the elderly, patients with chronic basic diseases, pregnant women, children and other people have symptoms such as fever and respiratory infection, antigen or nucleic acid testing should be carried out in time. The elderly, patients with chronic basic diseases, pregnant women and children should use symptomatic drugs reasonably according to relevant guidelines, pay attention to the scope of drug application and the taboos of combined use of many kinds of drugs. Patients or guardians should pay close attention to their health status and see a doctor in time if necessary.
Home treatment should be safe. During the period of living at home, the infected people should stay in a well-ventilated and relatively independent room as far as possible, so as to reduce close contact with people living with them. Infected people do not go out unless necessary, avoid going to densely populated public places, and do not participate in gathering activities.
Seasonal influenza
Easily confused with the common cold
Seasonal influenza is mainly transmitted through respiratory droplets and can also be transmitted through direct or indirect contact with mucous membranes such as oral cavity, nasal cavity and eyes. It is generally characterized by acute onset, fever, fear of chills, chills, headache, muscle and joint soreness, extreme fatigue, loss of appetite and other systemic symptoms, such as sore throat and cough. there can be nasal congestion, runny nose, retrosternal discomfort, facial flushing, mild conjunctival congestion, vomiting, diarrhea and other symptoms, lack of specificity, easy to be confused with the common cold and other upper respiratory tract infections. Most of the cases are mild and a few are severe. The high risk of severe illness and death are mainly pregnant women, infants, the elderly or patients with chronic underlying diseases.
Annual influenza vaccination is the most effective way to prevent influenza, which can significantly reduce the risk of influenza and severe illness. It is recommended that pregnant women, children aged from 6 months to 5 years old, people aged 60 and above, patients with chronic basic diseases and other high-risk groups of influenza, family members, caregivers and medical personnel of infants under 6 months of age are recommended to receive influenza vaccination.
Taking daily protective measures can also effectively reduce the infection and spread of influenza, including maintaining good respiratory hygiene habits, covering your mouth and nose with paper towels and towels when coughing or sneezing, washing hands frequently and avoiding touching eyes, nose or mouth as far as possible; balanced diet, moderate exercise, adequate rest, etc. Avoid close contact with patients with influenza-like symptoms and avoid going to crowd gathering places during the influenza epidemic season. After the emergence of influenza-like symptoms, patients should stay at home for isolation and observation, wear masks when they come into contact with family members to reduce the spread of the disease; when patients with influenza-like symptoms go to the hospital, patients and attendants should wear masks to avoid cross-infection.
Other respiratory infectious diseases
Strictly prevent the occurrence of aggregative diseases in key places
Winter is also the season of high incidence of respiratory infectious diseases such as chickenpox, mumps, scarlet fever and human infection of avian influenza, so we should strictly prevent the occurrence of aggregation in key places.
For infectious diseases with vaccine prevention, such as chickenpox, mumps, etc., vaccinate in time and the whole process according to the relevant requirements to improve self-immunity.
Pay attention to personal hygiene and cover your mouth and nose with paper towels when sneezing or coughing to avoid droplets spreading. Open windows regularly for ventilation several times a day to keep the indoor air fresh. Do not come into contact with sick or sick people. Children should stay away from birds and try not to go to poultry slaughtering markets.
During the peak epidemic period, we should avoid going to crowded places, especially patients with mild symptoms should go to the community hospital as soon as possible to avoid cross-infection, early isolation, and then go back to school and rework after recovery.
Norovirus enteritis
High incidence in winter and spring can occur throughout the year.
Norovirus enteritis can occur all year round and has a high incidence in winter and spring in China. Norovirus enteritis is easy to cause outbreaks in crowded places such as schools, kindergartens and hospitals, and outbreaks often occur in tour groups, cruise ships and holiday centers.
Norovirus is transmitted from person to person, through food and water. The most common symptoms were vomiting and diarrhea, followed by nausea, abdominal pain, headache, fever, chills and muscle soreness. Most cases are mild and can recover within 2 to 3 days after onset; very few cases can be severe or even death, usually in the elderly and young children.
The main preventive measures are: pay attention to hand washing, especially before meals, after defecation, before processing food. Pay attention to diet, drinking water hygiene, try to eat cooked food, do not eat raw or undercooked meat, seafood, vegetables, eat fruit to wash, peel, drink boiled water or unopened pre-packaged water and drinks. Norovirus infection should be quarantined within 3 days after recovery, mild patients can be quarantined at home or in epidemic institutions, and severe patients should be sent to medical institutions for isolation and treatment. Surfaces contaminated by vomit or feces of the patient should be cleaned and disinfected with chlorine-containing disinfectants or other effective disinfectants, and the contaminated clothes or sheets should be removed and cleaned immediately. Rubber or disposable gloves should be worn when cleaning, and wash hands carefully after cleaning.
