Beijing News Express (Reporter Ma Jinqian) On February 6, the Beijing Municipal Center for Disease Control and Prevention released the first community or place that had been active during the onset of the new coronavirus pneumonia case. The location announced this time is the venue for the activity of new cases in Beijing on February 5, involving 17 locations in seven districts: Dongcheng, Xicheng, Chaoyang, Haidian , Shijingshan , Daxing and Huairou.
Many residents are worried that if there are confirmed cases in the community, will they be infected? How to take good protection at home? Experts said that all confirmed patients have been quarantined and the disease control department has also disinfected their living areas, so there is no need to panic too much. However, nearby residents should still pay attention to going out as little as possible and monitoring temperature changes. Once abnormalities occur, they should immediately report to the street community and contact the hospital for medical observation.

prompts
touch elevators, railings and other public facilities, wash hands in time
Some residents are worried that the elevators confirmed patients have taken are there any possibility of infection of others? Immunology experts suggest that the elevators, door handles, railings, etc. that have been exposed to by confirmed patients have also been disinfected by the disease control department. Residents nearby do not need to worry too much, but they should still pay attention to wearing masks, washing hands frequently, and trying not to contact them as much as possible.
Experts remind that even if you are not confirmed patients, you should pay attention to taking elevators and contacting public facilities on a daily basis.
According to the "Diagnosis and Treatment Plan for Pneumonia Infected by the New Coronavirus (Trial Fifth Edition)", the transmission of respiratory droplets and contact transmission are the main ways. In a tightly sealed elevator, if the infected person is hiding and does not pay attention to covering it with his hands when he sneezing, the virus may contaminate the door handle or elevator buttons in the droplets caused by coughing, sneezing, and speaking.
Member of the expert group of the National Health Commission and chief physician of the Department of Infection 2 of Beijing Ditan Hospital Jiang Rongmeng said that studies have found that on the surface of smooth objects such as door handles and elevator buttons, the virus can survive for several hours, the temperature and humidity are appropriate, and it is possible to survive for several days. Similar to public facilities such as stair handrails, sports equipment, etc. in the community, viruses may also be attached to the surface.
Based on this point, if residents rub their eyes and noses after contact, the virus may be transmitted through contact. Experts recommend that you wear a mask when taking the elevator, do not touch your mouth, nose and eyes, and use alcohol to wipe your hands in time, wash your hands at home, and do not eat before washing your hands.
At present, many Beijing communities have added a pack of tissues to elevators for elevators to wrap their fingers with tissues, and use them at one time when pressing buttons. Experts remind you not to touch the contaminated surface after wrapping your fingers and the mask you have brought; if you touch it, wash your hands with soap and running water for 20 seconds as soon as possible.

wear a mask when going to the public toilet, wash your hands in time after the end
There are confirmed cases in the neighborhood blocks. Is it safe to use public toilets? Immunology experts say it is basically safe, but there are details that need to be paid attention to.
There is also the possibility of contact transmission in public toilets. During use, it is inevitable that clothes will rub around and contact the toilet ring. At this time, you must wash your hands and disinfect your clothes. In addition, droplet transmission may also occur in public toilets, so you also need to wear a mask.
At present, some cities in China have taken measures to cancel public toilet trays, and water-soluble waste that can be treated from sewers will no longer be collected in a centralized manner.
Liu Yuping, director of the Health Management Center of Sichuan Provincial People's Hospital, once said that viral nucleic acid has been detected in the feces of confirmed patients. If someone has not washed his hands after using the bathroom and touched the elevator button, and you will contact him again and do not wash his hands before going home for a meal, there is also a possibility of being infected.

can wear disposable gloves when throwing garbage, seal the mask and then discard
The community has confirmed cases. Will the used garbage cause infection? Experts say it is possible, but the probability is very small. The virus has limited survival time, and the garbage that has been used can basically be transmitted through contact.
Therefore, immunology experts remind you to wash your hands at any time, or bring a bottle of alcohol-free hand sanitizer; when throwing away garbage, if you need to lift the lid of the trash can, you can choose to wear disposable gloves; use a plastic bag to seal it before discarding it.
Experts recommend that garbage be discarded normally. Community or property with conditions can collect masks and other epidemic prevention-related garbage in centralized collection for harmless treatment.

Regular ventilation indoors can reduce the virus concentration
Some netizens asked, there are confirmed cases near the community, will open windows to ventilate and blow the virus into the home? Immunology experts say the facts are not what netizens are worried about.
virus can survive for a long time in a suitable environment. If the windows are not opened for ventilation, it can gradually accumulate indoors to increase the concentration of indoor viruses. On the contrary, the outdoor space is large, the ultraviolet intensity is high, and the virus concentration is actually relatively low, so ventilation can reduce the concentration of bacterial viruses in the room.
Experts said that in addition to the new coronavirus, we should also pay attention to the possibility of other bacteria and viruses indoors. If the window is not opened, the air in the house becomes more and more dirty, and people are more likely to get sick.
"The chance of ventilation and infection of windows is very small. If you are really worried, you can choose a wider side when opening the windows. Don't always open the windows. You can pay attention to staggering the window opening time with the surrounding neighbors when opening the windows regularly every day." Experts said.

clothes can be changed normally. If you are worried, you can use alcohol to disinfect
Immunology experts believe that unless you enter and exit the hospital fever clinic and other areas, in general, as long as you do not contact dangerous people, clothes can be changed normally. If you are really worried, you can choose to spray your coat with alcohol to disinfect.
After returning home, pay attention to changing clothes. It is separated from home clothes, which is relatively safer. After being sterilized, the coat is flipped in half and folded so that the inner side faces outward and placed in the entrance hall. At the same time, you should also pay attention to safety when using alcohol and stay away from the kitchen and flames.
In addition to alcohol, you can also choose the following methods: 84 Soak chlorine-containing disinfectants such as disinfectant, bleach, etc. for 5 minutes; ventilate the natural environment outside the window for 3 days; dry it in the sun for more than 60 minutes; illuminate it with ultraviolet light for 60 minutes, etc.
remind you to pay attention to dietary hygiene and life rules, and prevent other diseases
Experts said that you don’t need to self-isolate because residents in the community are suspected of being infected. However, in extraordinary times, residents should try to minimize going out regardless of whether there are confirmed patients in the community. If you have to go out, you should wear a mask and use disposable gloves and other protections.
During the process of staying at home, you should pay attention to maintaining a good attitude, prevent other diseases other than the new coronavirus, and pay attention to dietary hygiene and regular life, so as to be more conducive to the prevention and treatment of the new coronavirus.
