Recently
Hainan has adopted a series of prevention and control measures in response to the epidemic peak of influenza in summer
At present, prevention and control has achieved initial results
So
What is the situation of this wave of influenza?
How long will the peak activity last?
When will it end?
Let’s hear what the experts have to say
- Monitoring data shows that since mid-June, the number of visits to fever clinics in medical institutions at all levels across the province has shown a rapid downward trend, but is still significantly higher than the same period in previous years ;
- Influenza-like cases in sentinel hospitals The percentage of medical consultations (ILI%) and the influenza virus nucleic acid positivity rate have declined slightly, but are still at a high level. indicates that the current activity of influenza virus in our province has slowed down but is still in the active phase ;
- According to the law of virus epidemic, comprehensive analysis of schools and daycare centers in July Due to factors such as holidays for small institutions, the influenza epidemic season in Hainan will continue for some time;
- It is expected that the virus epidemic trend will gradually weaken starting in July, and the risk of cluster epidemics in collective units will decrease.
However, in view of the uncertainty in the activities of the virus, we cannot rule out the possibility that the epidemic season will last for a long time, and our province is likely to usher in the autumn and winter influenza epidemic season in the second half of the year. Experts remind:
1
Maintain hygiene, avoid going to crowded places
Continue to wear a mask, ventilate frequently, wash hands frequently , and maintain good respiratory hygiene habits (cover your mouth and nose with tissues, towels, etc. when coughing or sneezing), etc. .
During the popular season, try to avoid going to crowded places.
After flu-like symptoms appear, you should stay at home for observation, and do not go to work or go to school sick to reduce the spread of the disease.
2
Actively vaccinate with influenza vaccine
Vaccination with influenza vaccine is an effective way to prevent influenza and can significantly reduce the risk of influenza illness and severe illness.
Since it takes a certain period of time to produce protective antibodies after influenza vaccination, therefore advocates completing the influenza vaccination before the influenza season.
