Today’s personal “what to do when preventing the epidemic”, let’s take a look at these misunderstandings have you noticed?

Misconception 1: Use chemical disinfectant to disinfect the home environment   

Generally speaking, the home environment does not require disinfection every day. It is mainly for daily cleaning and ventilation. The disinfection method should be boiled, exposed to the sun, etc.

Misconception 2: Worrying to lower the indoor temperature in winter, do not open the windows to ventilate   

In winter, many people choose to close doors and windows to keep warm, especially families with elderly and children. In fact, the most effective and simple way to disinfect indoor air is to open windows to ventilate naturally, which can greatly improve the indoor environment and reduce the occurrence of diseases.

It is recommended to keep your personal warmth in general. In winter, open the windows twice a day for 15 to 20 minutes each time.

Misunderstanding 3: Simply rinsing with water can be considered as a complete hand cleaning

Do not use soap or hand sanitizer. If you simply rinse your hands with water, a large number of viruses and germs cannot be effectively killed.

Scientific hand washing should be done like this: take an appropriate amount of hand sanitizer or soap, apply evenly on the palms, backs, fingers and fingers, rub your hands for more than 20 seconds, then thoroughly rinse your hands with running water, and then wipe dry with a clean towel or disposable tissue. Or please remember seven-step hand washing method , the mantra is "a big wrist stand in the inner and outer bows".

Misunderstanding 4: Wearing multiple layers of masks is better than one layer of protective effect

Correctly wears qualified medical masks. Just one can achieve good protective effect. Wearing multiple masks on top of the masks cannot increase the protective effect, it is just a waste of resources.

It is also worth reminding everyone: try to avoid touching the surface when wearing a mask, which will increase the risk of infection. When taking off the mask, grab the ear strap and wash your hands immediately.

  Misconception 5: Cover your mouth and nose with your hands when coughing or sneezing

  Doing this will cause hand contamination. The correct way is to use a tissue to cover your mouth and nose when coughing or sneezing, and try to avoid others to prevent droplets from spreading, and then throw the tissue into the classification trash can . If there is no tissue, cover it with your elbow or sleeve.

  Misconception 6: After touching public facilities, touch the mouth, eyes, nose directly with your hands

  When taking public transportation, try to minimize contact with handrails, seats and other parts, and you can carry disposable gloves or disinfectant wipes with you. Special attention: Do not touch your mouth, eyes, and nose with your hands that have directly contacted public facilities.

  Misconception 7: Taking a hot bath can kill the new coronavirus

  Although the virus is sensitive to ultraviolet rays and temperature, taking a hot bath cannot kill the new coronavirus. The new coronavirus can be effectively inactivated at 56°C for more than 30 minutes, or use 75% concentration of alcohol , chlorine-containing disinfectants, etc.
