Southern Network News On January 26, the reporter learned from the Guangdong Provincial Center for Disease Control and Prevention that a 57-year-old Aber fever in Foshan was found to be infected with the new coronavirus pneumonia. An epidemiological investigation conducted by the disease control officer learned that he attended the party two weeks ago and was toasted by five friends from Wuhan.
Toasting is also likely to be infected with new coronavirus pneumonia? An epidemiologist from the Guangdong Provincial Center for Disease Control and Prevention introduced that the new coronavirus can be transmitted from person to person and is highly contagious. Except for Foshan Abo, who was infected with the new coronavirus by toasting, 15 clustering outbreaks have been found in Guangdong Province. These are family clustering outbreaks.
Among them, some couples went to Wuhan together to travel back to get sick, and some went to Wuhan classmates' gatherings or dinners. The old classmates who had contact with the disease were infected. These outbreaks involved a total of 41 cases, which is close to half of the cases in our province. In addition, there were five cases of close family contact with second-generation cases, meaning that they were transmitted to their families.
How to prevent it? The infectious surgeon of the Third Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University said that firstly do not go to crowded places and reduce the number of gatherings. Secondly, when you go out to wear a mask (especially for patients with chronic diseases), you must wash your hands when you go home, keep your home ventilated, and wear warm clothing. In addition, you must eat a balanced diet, smoke less, drink alcohol or stay up late, and exercise more to increase resistance.
What should I do if I come into contact with a person from Hubei who has no symptoms? Infectious physicians of the Third Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University reminded that those who have close contacts should follow the contact time. If there are no fever, cough, chest tightness, diarrhea and other symptoms in the next 14 days, no medical examination is required. If the above symptoms occur within 14 days, you should go to a fever clinic at a designated hospital in this city. If the hospital's white blood cells are normal or low, and the lungs have lesions, the possibility of infection is relatively large. The final diagnosis requires a viral nucleic acid test. If it is positive, the infection is basically determined.
It is the flu season at present, and symptoms such as nasal congestion, runny nose, cough, and fatigue appear in the flu and common cold. The doctor reminded that if these symptoms occur, if the body temperature rises and coughs occur, it is necessary to go to the hospital. If the above symptoms do not exist, then pay attention to whether it is a common cold or flu. If the body temperature does not exceed 38 ? C, you can buy over-the-counter cold medicines. If the body temperature exceeds 38 ? C and the symptoms are severe, you can consider a fever clinic. .
