How should personal protection be done in autumn and winter to effectively prevent respiratory infectious diseases? Today, the reporter invited Du Xunbo from the Infectious Disease Prevention and Control Section of Chengdu CDC to answer your questions. Du Xunbo said that an important feature of infectious diseases is seasonality, and the upcoming autumn and winter seasons are a period of high incidence of respiratory infectious diseases. The more typical one is influenza, which has a greater impact on public health. In the autumn and winter of this year, the flu may also overlap with the new crown pneumonia, which will have an important impact on the prevention and control of the new crown pneumonia epidemic. Therefore, the prevention and control of influenza is also an important task at present. The public should be vigilant and pay attention to prevention.
The current situation of domestic epidemic prevention and control is generally improving, and the goal of stopping the spread of the epidemic has basically been achieved. With the continuous economic and social development and the increase in civic life activities, some citizens have slackened their personal protective measures. “Take public transportation as an example. Chengdu buses and subways require passengers to wear masks, but in fact, a small number of citizens still wear masks irregularly. , Can not achieve the purpose of effective protection. In addition, similar problems also exist in some farmer’s markets and large supermarkets. For example, the temperature detection of everyone, the presentation of health codes and other links are not implemented. The prevention and control of the epidemic has brought adverse effects.” Du Xunbo said.
He suggested that in autumn and winter, citizens should continue to take preventive and control measures, such as consciously wearing masks in crowded places, maintaining social distancing, developing good hygiene habits, washing hands frequently, ventilating frequently, covering mouth and nose with coughing and sneezing, as little as possible. Go to crowded places and seek medical treatment when symptoms occur.
