The new type of coronavirus pneumonia is approaching fiercely, and its rapid spread has made ordinary people like us panic. We are afraid that if we are not careful, we or our family members around us will be invaded by the virus.

The new coronavirus pneumonia has made the beginning of the Year of the Rat uneasy. In addition to rushing to buy masks to prevent the epidemic, there is also a lot of alcohol and sterilizing wet wipes. Many outlets and pharmacies have posted "Masks and alcohol are for sale." The "out of stock" announcement and the rush to buy are reminiscent of the SARS situation back then.

Doctor: Masks are as important as hand washing and disinfection. Do not go to crowded places unless necessary.

Wearing a mask is definitely the first step we can take to protect ourselves and others, but many people wear masks but do not wear them correctly. The most common problem is that the mask is worn backwards and the mask is not pressed tightly at all. In addition to hanging the mask on the ears, the more important thing is to seal the gap between the mask and the bridge of your nose. In addition to wearing a mask, washing your hands frequently and keeping your hands away from your mouth, nose, and eyes are equally important.

A summary of the key points for the prevention of pneumonia caused by the new coronavirus infection, and pray for the world that the epidemic will be controlled as soon as possible.

Fever: 98%, fever >37.3

Cough: 76%, cough symptoms

Wheezing: 55%, shortness of breath

Phlegm: 28%, cough with phlegm

Self-prevention:

Wear a mask correctly;

Wash your hands to prevent infection;

Do not share supplies;

Touch your eyes, nose and mouth less;

Go to crowded places less often.

Wash your hands and disinfect your hands

1. Wash your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. If you cannot wash your hands immediately, you can use alcohol-based disinfectant to dry your hands.

2. Coronavirus attaches to daily life items and stays for 3 to 6 hours before losing activity.

3. Do not touch your eyes, nose, or mouth with unwashed and disinfected hands to avoid contact infection.

4. In addition to 75% alcohol , which can be used as a disinfectant, if the clothes are contaminated, diluted bleach can be used for disinfection. Soak clothes in bleach water diluted 100 times (concentration 500 ppm) for 30 minutes (mix 10 liters of water with 100 ml bleach water)

Hand washing and disinfection are as important as wearing a mask and must not be taken lightly.

Pay attention when wearing a mask:

Open: Check the mask; the color is the outer layer, and the metal strip on the bridge of the nose should be above the outer layer.

Wearing: Put on the mask; hang the elastic bands on both ears, and spread the mask completely to the chin.

Press: Gently press the bridge of the nose; the nose bridge strip fixes the top of the bridge of the nose, and press lightly to make it fit.

secret: Confirm that it is tight; confirm that the mask is worn correctly and fits tightly without gaps.

Be careful when taking off a mask

Please grasp the ear loops of the mask when taking off the mask;

Do not touch the outer surface of the mask;

Be sure to wash your hands after discarding the mask;

Throw away after use and do not reuse;

Properly dispose of discarded masks.
