Yao Guanhua said that at present, the epidemic situation across the country is severe and complex, with local clusters of epidemics occurring in many places and points. In particular, the BA.2 sub-branch of the Omicron variant strain is more stealthy, faster and more spread than the previous strains. Personal protection is very important. Only when everyone acts together can we build a group defense. A solid line of defense for group control. Again, the following precautions are reminded:First, maintain good hygiene habits and pay attention to personal hygiene. When staying at home, it is necessary to strengthen ventilation, do a good job in indoor cleaning and disinfection, and try to use public chopsticks for meals; when going out, be sure to wear a mask, maintain a safe distance, avoid going to crowded places, and avoid gatherings and dining activities; 2. To cooperate with the implementation of epidemic prevention requirements. Actively cooperate with epidemiological investigations, do not conceal travel history, contact history, disease history, and conduct nucleic acid testing as required. In particular, it is necessary to cooperate with the prevention and control requirements of public places, standardize the wearing of masks, measure body temperature, scan codes, show health codes, travel codes, etc. The risk of epidemic transmission in public places is relatively high, and it is necessary to cooperate with epidemic prevention, which is not only good for others, but also good for yourself; third, pay close attention to your own health. During the epidemic, you should pay attention to rest and exercise regularly to improve your immune system. Once you have ten symptoms such as fever, cough, fatigue, loss of smell and taste, nasal congestion, runny nose, sore throat, conjunctivitis, myalgia, diarrhea, etc., you must take the initiative to seek medical treatment in time, and go to the medical institution that has a fever clinic for medical treatment, and wear it on the way. Masks, avoid taking public transportation; Fourth, get vaccinated as soon as possible. Vaccination can improve the body’s immunity, protection, and reduce the risk of infection. The Hong Kong epidemic has taught us a profound lesson, and it is also an example. Once infected with the virus, there is a big difference between vaccination and non-vaccination; if the elderly are not vaccinated or have not completed the whole course of vaccination, once infection occurs, severe illness and death probability will be higher. It is hoped that those who meet the requirements for vaccination can take the initiative to be vaccinated and vaccinated as soon as possible. Those who have already received two injections should receive a booster immunization to further improve the immune effect.
