This afternoon, with the strong support and coordination of the Shanghai Foreign Affairs Office and the Shanghai Municipal Health Commission, the Chinese Embassy in India invited Professor Zhang Wenhong , the head of the Shanghai COVID-19 medical treatment expert group and director of the Department of Infection of Huashan Hospital Affiliated to Fudan University, to video-linked with Chinese overseas Chinese, Chinese-funded enterprises, and international students in India to exchange hot issues such as the current epidemic situation in India and personal protection, and answered questions and answered questions.
"Some Chinese citizens in India may have plans to return to China in the near future. In this process, it is impossible to have no risk of infection at all. We can only find ways to minimize the risk." Zhang Wenhong suggested that when returning to China, we should be isolated, try to wear masks throughout the process, and wash our hands in time after contacting others.
"There have been reports that international students do not eat, drink, take off their masks along the way, and insist on going to China. I personally do not agree with this." Zhang Wenhong said that facts have proved that enhancing nutrition is very important for resisting the virus. If there is any time to take off their masks on the road, it is when drinking water and eating. "I hope that everyone should not eat or drink water, nor should they just eat instant noodles. They can bring some portable foods rich in high protein, and just wash their hands in time after eating. The risk of infection is minimal."
Previously, someone tested positive for the new coronavirus after the 14-day period of quarantine, which caused some panic. In response, Zhang Wenhong said that there is no need to extend the quarantine period of because of . "The virus is very transmissible in the first week, and then gradually decreases, and is already very low by the third week. Some countries also plan to shorten the quarantine period to one week." Zhang Wenhong said that if the quarantine period is extended to three weeks or even longer because of one or two cases that have not yet been found out, there is no scientific basis.
In Zhang Wenhong's view, it is very important to strengthen personal resistance after epidemic prevention has become normalized. "I know what I said before has caused some controversy, and these can be discussed. But today I still want to say that from practice, it is very important to consume enough protein in response to COVID-19. Therefore, if you have the conditions, you should drink more milk and eat more eggs." Editor-in-chief of
