Many places in China have recently begun to announce new cases of communities, villages and places where new cases have been active, which has caused panic among residents in the relevant areas to a certain extent. At the press conference of the Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism of the State Council held on the 8th, Feng Luzhao first talked about this issue when responding to netizens' concerns.
"Some residents are panicked when they hear that there are confirmed cases in their community, or there are isolated cases in the building, and they don't know how much risk of infection is." Feng Luzhao introduced that after the new coronavirus pneumonia is diagnosed, they will go to designated hospitals for isolation treatment, and close contacts of the cases will also undergo isolation and medical observation in accordance with relevant requirements. The families of confirmed cases and the public areas of the community will be cleaned and disinfected. Therefore, residents of the community do not need to panic excessively, and continue to take personal protection.
Feng Luzhao pointed out that the novel coronavirus pneumonia is a new infectious disease. No one has the immunity and everyone is susceptible to it. Regardless of whether there are cases in the community, if you do not pay attention to prevention, there will be a risk of infection.
Feng Luzhao said that society is not closed, and if you leave the community, you will have the risk of infection. The ventilation of the apartment's elevators and walking stairs is usually not very good, and you must wear a mask when taking the elevator or walking stairs. The room should be opened frequently for ventilation, and opening it for a period of time every day can allow the air to be fully exchanged.
He also suggested that before the epidemic is over, try to avoid touching stair handrails , elevator buttons, and the surface of community public facilities objects with your hands as much as possible. After going out, be sure not to touch your eyes, mouth, and nose, and wash your hands as soon as possible. (End)
