Outcasts in their own country, the people of Wuhan are the unwanted faces of China's coronavirus outbreak
By Nectar Gan, CNN
Updated 1510 GMT (2310 HKT) February 2, 2020

CNN)In China, Wuhan used to be known as a city of cherry blossoms, an economic engine of the central heartland, and the birthplace of a century-old revolution that brought down the country's last imperial dynasty.

But now, the metropolis of approximately 11 million people in Hubei province has become the face of a deadly new coronavirus outbreak -- a stigma the people of Wuhan increasingly find themselves unable to shake off.

With the death toll surging past 300 and 14,300 confirmed cases spreading all over China, local authorities across the country have activated the highest public health emergency response, stepping up screening of arrivals from Wuhan.

However, fears over the spread of the outbreak have fueled resentment and discrimination against people from Wuhan. Some have become outcasts in their own country, shunned by hotels, neighbors and -- in some areas -- placed under controversial quarantine measures...

(Combating new pneumonia) Three people including the deputy mayor of Yueqing, Zhejiang, etc. were neglected for negligence in their epidemic prevention and control work.

China News Agency, Hangzhou, February 3 (Zhang Yuhuan) The reporter learned from the Zhejiang Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection on the 2nd that Wenzhou severely investigated and punished the three leading cadres such as Yueqing Deputy Mayor Chen Weiyan in the work of epidemic prevention and control. Problems, including the lack of careful review of the data of close contacts of confirmed cases, the systematic registration of close contact investigation data reported by townships (streets), the failure to report the aggregated epidemic situation infecting 7 people in a timely manner, resulting in epidemic prevention and control Adverse consequences.

通报 The Zhejiang Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection and Provincial Supervisory Commission reported that since the outbreak, the province's epidemic prevention and control work has achieved staged results. However, there are still a few leading cadres with problems such as inadequate responsibilities, unimplemented measures, and unsteady work styles. They must be held seriously accountable.

After investigation, the Yueqing City Center for Disease Control did not strictly implement the requirements of the Provincial Epidemic Prevention and Control Work Leading Group's "Emergency Notice on Strengthening Community Prevention and Control of Pneumonia Epidemic of New Coronavirus Infection", and did not carefully review the data of close contacts of confirmed cases As a result, the relevant personnel were missed; the system did not register the close contact investigation data reported by the township (street), causing the data to be missed; the collective epidemic that infected 7 people was not reported in time, resulting in loopholes in the epidemic prevention and control; therefore, Cause adverse effects on epidemic prevention and control.

For the above problems, Ni Chengjian, member of the Party Committee of Yueqing Municipal Health and Health Bureau and director of the Municipal Centers for Disease Control, had direct responsibility and was removed from office. Xie Mingrong, secretary of the Party Committee and director of the Municipal Health and Health Bureau, had the main leadership responsibility and was removed from office; Chen Weiyan, the deputy mayor in charge of Yueqing City, the deputy team leader and office director of the Municipal Epidemic Prevention and Control Leading Group, was responsible for leadership and was severely warned by the party.

Original Title: Cases in Shaanxi Province Change from "Imported" to "Local" Communities Spread

"The epidemiological characteristics show that the onset of disease in Shaanxi Province is undergoing a process of transformation from imported cases to local cases. The imported cases will continue to decrease, and the focus of prevention and control will be mainly on local cases." Shaanxi Province responds to new coronavirus Liu Feng, leader of the disease prevention and control expert group of the Leading Group for Infectious Pneumonia, said on the 2nd.

On the same day, the Shaanxi Provincial Government held a press conference to brief the outside world on the province ’s focus on epidemic prevention and control, the situation of rural epidemic prevention and control, and various types of market supervision.

As of 10:00 on February 2nd, 116 cases of pneumonia confirmed by new coronavirus infection have been reported in Shaanxi. There are 4,394 close contacts in the province, all of which are focused on medical observation.

"The current situation of prevention and control is still grim and complex, and it is in a critical period of prevention and control. Shaanxi has adopted methods such as delayed resumption of work, suspension of school start-ups, and shifts to work by government agencies. The main purpose is to minimize the flow of people and gather, and to prevent the spread of virus as much as possible. Stop the spread of the epidemic, "said Gao Yang, deputy secretary general of the Shaanxi Provincial Government.

峰 Liu Feng said that the epidemic had hidden infections, incubation period and a large number of mild cases, which made the prevention and control of the epidemic more difficult. At present, there are signs of community transmission in some areas. With the development of the epidemic situation, the understanding of pneumonitis and new coronavirus infected by new coronaviruses is constantly updated, and prevention and control measures should be updated in a timely manner, especially for the prevention and control of transmission through the fecal-oral route and patients with diarrhea symptoms. strengthen.

Boiled, sprayed with alcohol, irradiated with ultraviolet light ... Anti-virus masks cannot be recycled in these ways
2020-02-03 02:40:28 Source: Science and Technology Daily

Xinhua News Agency reporter Wang Quanchao

With the continued development of the epidemic, anti-virus masks such as N95 (KN95) and medical surgery are still on the market, and the inventory of masks in many families is about to bottom out. So, the Internet began to spread the "remedy" for reusing used masks in the pot, steaming them, boiling them in water, baking them under the ultraviolet lamp, spraying them with alcohol and then drying them.

At first glance, these methods are completely consistent with the weakness of the new type of coronavirus that is afraid of high temperature, alcohol, and ultraviolet rays, and it can indeed kill the virus on the mask. But can anti-virus masks labeled with "disposable" really be on the "infinite cycle" of use, disinfection and reuse?

The reporter from Science and Technology Daily interviewed Prof. Jin Xiangyu, the deputy director of the Industrial Textile Engineering Center of the Ministry of Education and the Department of Nonwoven Materials and Engineering of Donghua University. He has presided over the completion of the "Development of Anti-SARS Virus Protective Textiles" project for the SARS epidemic.

According to the "New Coronavirus Infected Pneumonia Diagnosis and Treatment Scheme (Trial Version 4)", "56 ? C for 30 minutes" can effectively inactivate the virus. Can masks be reused by "steaming and boiling"?

Jin Xiangyu: No. Whether it is N95 or medical surgical masks, their means of achieving "anti-virus" rely on the "filter layer" to adsorb and block micro particles (aerosols) such as viruses, and the filter layer is mainly composed of polypropylene melt-blown ultrafine fibers.

According to design requirements, masks must achieve comfortable barrier ventilation while achieving good barrier effects. Generally, the suction resistance to medical masks cannot exceed 343.2 Pascals (Pa), and the suction resistance of daily protective masks is less than 135 Pascals ( Pa).

Therefore, the mask filter material often needs to undergo "electret treatment" to make it carry a small amount of charge, so that it can still effectively adsorb various particles in the air under relatively fluffy conditions.

There is no doubt that whether it is "steaming" or "boiled", the entry of water will quickly eliminate the charge in the filter layer, resulting in a significant reduction in the filtering effect. At the same time, polypropylene meltblown materials have very thin fibers, which are ten times thinner than hair, with an average of only two microns. They are not resistant to high temperatures. When the temperature is higher than 80 ? C, they will shrink and deform, resulting in structural damage and reduced protective effects.

According to the "New Coronavirus Infected Pneumonia Diagnosis and Treatment Scheme (Trial Version 4)", 75% ethanol can effectively inactivate the virus. Can the used masks be disinfected with alcohol and then dried and reused?

Jin Xiangyu: No. On the one hand, the outer surfaces of medical surgical masks and medical N95 masks have undergone a "water-repellent treatment". Alcohol, water, blood, saliva, etc. are difficult to penetrate. The purpose is to strengthen the protection of doctors and prevent liquid spray from coming into contact with patients. Cause cross infection.

Therefore, it is difficult for the surface to be smeared and sprayed with alcohol to disinfect the inside of the medical mask. On the other hand, alcohol can also damage the waterproof structure of the outer layer of the mask. The reason is that the surface tension of alcohol is very different from that of water. The mask material treated with alcohol will enhance the absorption of water (blood, saliva), which will speed up the mask. Filter layer failed.

According to the "New Coronary Virus Infected Pneumonia Diagnosis and Treatment Scheme (Trial Version 4)", the virus is sensitive to ultraviolet rays. Can UV masks and disinfection cabinets be used to disinfect masks for reuse?

Jin Xiangyu: No. Polypropylene meltblown material is a thermoplastic polymer material, which has poor aging resistance and is very sensitive to ultraviolet rays. After being irradiated with ultraviolet rays, the structure will be destroyed or oxidatively degraded, which will greatly reduce the filtration performance.

The research team has conducted experiments. If N95-level masks are steamed, washed, and sterilized by UV lamps, its filtration efficiency will be rapidly reduced from 95% to less than 60%, which is similar to ordinary gauze masks and cotton masks.

So is there any way to achieve disinfection and reuse of masks?

Jin Xiangyu: For ordinary people, no. The disinfection method adopted in the mask production process is ethylene oxide gas disinfection, which cannot be achieved by ordinary households. Moreover, the mask continuously absorbs the water vapor exhaled by the human body during use, which gradually causes the charge loss of the filter layer and the decrease of the adsorption capacity. It cannot be recovered even after disinfection and drying, and it will not provide a good protective effect. Under the current epidemic conditions, disinfection and reuse of disposable anti-virus masks should not be promoted.

Although medical surgical masks and medical N95 masks are both "disposable", from the designer's point of view, ordinary people do not need to use a protective mask before throwing them away unless they go to hospitals, large supermarkets or contact with suspected patients. It can be used two or three times to reduce the consumption of mask resources.

Further reading

Why medical masks are mostly blue

The outer layer of the medical surgical mask is blue, on the one hand, to relieve the visual fatigue of the doctor at work. The white coat + white mask will be more "dazzling" under the light, which is not conducive to the doctor's long-term work. On the other hand, the blue surface is water-repellent, and different colors are also reminding the user that this face is outward.

What is the difference between medical surgical masks and N95 (KN95)? From the perspective of appearance, ordinary medical surgical masks are flat masks, while N95 masks are often arched design, and fit better to the face. But the filter layers of both are made of polypropylene meltblown material, but the thickness is different. In general, the area density of the filtering layer of general medical surgical masks is about 20 to 30 grams per square meter, while the density of the filtering layer of N95 masks is about 55 to 60 grams per square meter.

Volunteers spontaneously set up a convoy to join the "guarantee action" to solve the problem of food distribution

2020-02-02 03:07:53


Changjiang Daily-Changjiang Net, February 1 (Reporter Feng Hao) "I learned that the" Changjiang Daily Anti-epidemic Personnel Protection Operation "needs volunteers to transport supplies for hospitals in Wuhan, and I wondered if we could organize a volunteer convoy to produce Mr. Wan, the founder of the "Sima" Volunteer Service Team, did not expect that as soon as this idea was sent to the circle of friends, many enthusiastic friends responded. He introduced "there were 10 cars at the beginning, and the service fleet has now expanded to more than 20 There are many caring friends who want to join one after another, but they have declined with consideration to safety issues. "

The Yangtze River Daily “Food Security Action for Frontline Workers” entered the fifth day. With the expansion of coverage, more and more distribution hospitals and overseas logistics workers could not resume work, distribution became the biggest problem. The joining of the Simai volunteer team has undoubtedly added a powerful boost to the implementation of the "guarantee operation".

On February 1, Safeguard provided 11,908 fresh foods to 39 hospitals, and accumulated a total of 60,838 fresh foods, with 5,207 supplements (including instant noodles, biscuits, and milk).

第二 The second batch of 6 infected medical personnel discharged from Wuhan Union Medical College Hospital

I hate to be able to join the team of my comrades immediately

On the morning of February 2nd, a reporter from Beijing Youth Daily learned from the Union Hospital of Huazhong University of Science and Technology that the clinical symptoms of the hospital's medical staff infected with the new coronavirus pneumonia were effectively controlled. After discussion by the expert group, they met the discharge standards. A total of 6 medical personnel were discharged from the second batch. On January 28, the first batch of 3 medical staff in the hospital met discharge standards and were discharged at 11 am on the 28th. As of now, nine previously infected medical staff have been discharged from the hospital.

At 11:30 a.m. on the 2nd, six medical staff infected with the new coronavirus pneumonia from the Union Hospital were cured and discharged. Professor Zhou Qiong, deputy director of the Department of Respiratory Medicine of Union Medical College Hospital, introduced them as their attending doctors. The second batch of six medical staff discharged from the hospital are now in a better condition, with normal temperature, better appetite and mentality. The lung CT re-examination imaging was earlier absorbed, and the nucleic acid test was transferred Overcast. At this point, their clinical symptoms were effectively controlled and met the discharge standards. It is understood that the discharged medical staff are all patients with negative nucleic acid tests. Scientifically, the possibility of infection is extremely low. It is recommended to rest at home in the later period and decide the time to resume work according to the lung conditions.

Previously, the first batch of 3 medical staff in Union Medical College met the discharge standards, and they were discharged at 11 am on January 28. Professor Zhou Qiong introduced that during the hospitalization period, the hospital actively carried out treatment for these medical workers, including bed rest, strengthened symptomatic treatment, and detected vital signs, body temperature, and oxygenation; routinely tested blood routines, biochemical indicators, and reviewed lung CT, Review the viral nucleic acid test; give oxygen therapy based on oxygen saturation, most of them are nasal catheters, and some patients use high nasal flow; antiviral therapy: alpha-interferon inhalation combined with antiviral drugs; some lymphocytes continue to decline, Patients with severe lung imaging lesions use gamma globulin; antibacterial treatment is selected based on body temperature, respiratory symptoms, and biochemical test results, such as blood routine, CRP, and PCT.

As of now, 9 previously infected medical staff have been discharged from the hospital.

Discharged Nurse

的 The natural course of no comorbidities is two to three weeks

之一 One of the medical staff who was discharged this time, the head nurse of Symphony of the Union Hospital remembered that when they were hospitalized on the first day, everyone received two apples on the bedside, which meant peace. "I remember that a young nurse in our department cooked the chicken broth at home and brought it from his home in Nanhu, Wuhan. It was hot when he drank it."

The main symptoms recalled at the beginning of the study were the cough, headache, and fatigue at the beginning of the illness. With the progress of the treatment, the symptoms eased about a week later, and the symptoms improved further after two weeks, and they began to feel free. For the new coronavirus, she urged everyone not to panic. From his own experience, Mrs. Le said that as long as no other diseases were combined, the natural course of disease would also be two to three weeks, and recovery would be quick. Even colleagues who are still hospitalized have generally improved greatly, and have survived the severe illness.

In order to boost morale, during the hospitalization period, Nurse Le also actively set up a group of patients and went to the door of the ward to visit and talk to cheer everyone up. In the WeChat group, everyone reports peace to each other, communicates with each other, and encourages each other. As everyone's symptoms were alleviated and gradually improved, she thought that in-patients should be more active to strengthen their resistance. After a week in hospital, twice a day, morning and evening, she will lead everyone to do the eighth set of radio exercises.

Discharged medical staff

Nian Jun wants to return to work

When talking about what he wanted to do most after healed, Head Nurse Le said without hesitation that he wanted to return to work most. She said that the night before everyone had exchanged, this is the aspiration of all discharged medical care. They can't wait to return to the front line.

"These ten days are like a dream to me. I went through a process of transforming from a doctor to a patient, hospitalized, and discharged." Dr. Zheng, neurosurgeon of Xiehe Hospital, described the infection with the new coronavirus pneumonia Post experience.

中 In mid-January, Dr. Zheng suddenly developed fever. "As a patient's mentality, I was really scared at the time and didn't want to admit it." But as a medical staff member, he was well aware that he might be recruited, took the initiative and stayed away from his family to isolate himself. After several days of flu treatment, the condition gradually worsened, and Dr. Zheng began to instinctively fear about unknown diseases. After the diagnosis, he was arranged to be hospitalized for isolation treatment. Fortunately, he was successfully discharged from the hospital after being cured.

"I can't wait to join the team of my comrades immediately." Dr. Zheng said that as a doctor, getting up to see the latest information about the epidemic every morning is very sad and urgent. "But I must obey the experts' instructions and continue to isolate and recuperate. I want to tell the majority of frontline white soldiers and patients: the new coronavirus is not terrible. Everyone must work up their spirits and keep up their efforts to prevent and control the disease.

"I haven't seen the sun for a long time. Today's sunshine is so warm. It's just like me after my illness is cured. The sunshine is very warm and confident!" Urologist Hu said with relief after leaving the hospital. She recalled that on January 17, when she was struggling in the front line, she suddenly felt weak, her body was hot and cold, and she got a fever when she returned home from work. She immediately reported the matter to the head of the department, and then, after a nucleic acid test confirmed her diagnosis, she was treated in isolation.

近 After nearly ten days of antiviral and anti-infective treatment, her condition improved, and her two nucleic acid reviews were negative. All indicators had reached the national discharge standard and she was discharged smoothly on the 2nd. "I'm not afraid, I believe my colleagues, I hope to join the fight against the epidemic again soon!"

China ’s “Financial” journalist ’s long report on Saturday was shocking. The title, “People outside the statistics: Did they die from 'general pneumonia?'” Hints that a new coronavirus was not diagnosed or died of the virus Patients may be much higher than the official figures.

A reporter from the journal recently said that "most of the families of patients interviewed had infections in most families. They also assisted the elderly and pregnant women in various hospitals, and their families are on the front line of life and death."

The reporter wrote that Liu Mei's mother-in-law did not breathe at home and died after being sent to the hospital for ineffective treatment. Liu Mei told reporters that her mother appeared a new type of coronavirus pneumonia on January 21 and the diagnosis results in Wuhan First Hospital showed The lungs were highly infected, but several hospitals were unable to be admitted to the hospital. They could only isolate themselves at home until they were critically ill. After the old man was sent to an ambulance, the family never saw it again, only a spark list was displayed, showing The cause of death of the elderly was viral pneumonia, but Liu Mei's mother-in-law was not included in Wuhan pneumonia's confirmed death data because she was not eligible for hospitalization and was not diagnosed with new coronary pneumonia, which can only be counted as "common pneumonia" The dead unfortunate.

The reporter observed that the difficult situation in Wuhan has not yet been alleviated. This is actually the situation observed by citizen journalist Chen Qiushi who is witnessing in Wuhan. After arriving in Wuhan on New Year's Eve, a series of videos sent to the outside world confirmed the situation day by day. "At the same time, the number of confirmed and suspected cases has risen, and there are still many people outside the epidemic statistics."

A director of the department of the requisitioned hospital told a financial reporter, "In the past two days, there were about 120 fever patients in the outpatient clinic of the hospital, about 80 of whom had lung infections, but only 5 of them may be admitted to the hospital." The remaining 75 patients returned to their homes: "there is no way for the patients, neither can we."

It is understood that only patients admitted to the hospital can be counted as suspected and are eligible for nucleic acid test strips. However, because a hospital is difficult to find, most patients cannot be admitted to the hospital, so they have lost the opportunity to do nucleic acid test strips. According to the doctor, at least 80% of the patients who have completed the nucleic acid test strip can be diagnosed and then transferred to other designated hospitals.

The reporter learned that at least 5 suspected deaths in the aforementioned designated hospitals have not been diagnosed, so they cannot be counted as confirmed deaths, which means that the number of confirmed and dead cases currently seen by the outside world cannot reflect the actual situation.

Unprecedented scarcity of medical resources

The way to be admitted to the hospital is difficult to get to the sky. One way is to queue up in the community, and the other way is to go to the designated hospital with nucleic acid test strips. If the hospital is diagnosed, it cannot be rejected. Both paths are difficult. Financial reporter commented: "But for severe patients coming to the water, every minute may be a torment of life and death."

However, a doctor at a designated hospital in Wuhan said that the hospital admitted 600 critically ill patients, but none of them were diagnosed because "the lack of test strips, but we don't understand why they are lacking."

What kind of patients can use nucleic acid test strips, the doctor of Wuhan Third Hospital said that the doctor thinks that patients need to be hospitalized to be hospitalized and do nucleic acid testing. According to another medical staff member, "Applying for a nucleic acid test only allows doctors to open a suspect case report card, but it is only necessary to fill out this report card in an emergency."

According to reports, many patients and doctors are confused. On the 27th, the Wuhan Health and Medical Commission has stated that in principle, nearly 2,000 samples can be tested every day, but why there is always a lack of nucleic acid test strips; and the tests cannot be issued in the first time Confirmation report. Under normal circumstances, results are obtained within 48 hours. Without a confirmed report, there are no beds.

In addition, according to the patient's family, even if the community and hospitals recommend that patients be hospitalized immediately, there is still no guarantee that there will be beds available. In a designated hospital, due to tight beds, there were a large number of cases that could not be accommodated with a hospitalization ticket in line.

Doctors said that the severely ill patients who were admitted could be considered suspicious and needed further treatment for confirmation. If they died without a confirmed diagnosis, they would not be counted as confirmed deaths, but only as "pulmonary deaths."

In conclusion, a large number of patients are outside the diagnostic process and statistics.

Netizens react strongly

Many patients were not included in the statistics, and the response of Weibo Internet users was almost one-sided condemnation. Shi Wencan: "80 patients have lung infections, only 5 can be hospitalized, and those hospitalized are suspected. Think of them is horrible"

Yao Yanxi said: "This is the real situation in Wuhan. Those false numbers and false reports can't hide the people's popularity. There are too many families who are infected. The family may be destroyed at any time, but they still cannot be diagnosed and cannot live. In the hospital, many elderly people are just waiting to die, so cruel! A man-made disaster, with a life of flowers, a happy family pays, everyone who caused this man-made accident should be in hell for a lifetime! "Orange: "Many died before the diagnosis, and these will not be recorded in the mortality rate in the future. They will not be recorded in this historical event." Watermelon: "Early official failure to announce the outbreak caused the current outbreak. After the outbreak, There is not enough medical resources for treatment, and there is a risk of infecting others if there is no timely treatment. This is a vicious circle ... "

An unusual woman: "When I decided to close the city, I had this result flashed in my mind, and suddenly burst into tears. It was not a lack of test strips, but medical resources. The test strips represent the quota of resources. In order to enjoy free treatment. Even if you pay for your own treatment and the hospital has no beds, you still can't live in it, let alone confirm the diagnosis. Human life is like ants, and you die quietly. This article is estimated to not live long, and it is valued.

Some netizens think that there is a blunder behind the power of the state: Netizen Scarlett stated: "Never learn to tell the truth. In a country that dare not even face with real data, it is impossible to see alive people behind every number." Listen Pa: "Just like the crime rate, if you do not file a case, there will be less. As a good figure, it is too miserable as a person." "Make evil! Your motherland can't treat yourself at the time of crisis, can you be more honest about the facts? "Why change the concept, it ’s not death that is n’t diagnosed? Why is real data so unacceptable to big leaders? Why is there such a processing method? Are we not worthy of knowing the truth?"

National Health Commission: Further confirmation of fecal-oral transmission

0 comments
2020-02-03 05:02:30 Source: Beijing Commercial Daily How to determine what to buy on Saturday?

Does dung-to-mouth transmission mean a new change in transmission? The smoother the surface, the longer the virus survives? Is it effective to press the elevator with a tissue? How do I disinfect my hands when I go out to prevent infection? ...... On February 2nd, the National Health and Health Commission held a press conference on the health protection of public places, vehicles and people at different risks in the prevention and control of pneumonia epidemic of new coronavirus infection, and responded to related issues one by one.

Spread of the virus:

Spreading of feces should be further confirmed on smooth surfaces: experts recommend increasing disinfection frequency

Recently, the virus was found in the stools of patients diagnosed in Wuhan and Shenzhen. Does this mean that the transmission route has changed?

Feng Luzhao, a researcher at the Department of Infectious Diseases of the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, said that the new coronavirus was detected in the stools of the first confirmed patients in Wuhan, Shenzhen and even the United States in the past two days. This phenomenon shows that the virus can replicate and exist in the digestive tract, but it is not Transmission through fecal mouth, or re-transmission through aerosols containing virus-containing droplets requires further confirmation by our epidemiological investigations and studies.

"Of course, the main way of new coronavirus infection is mainly by close-range droplet transmission and indirect contact transmission, but these phenomena also remind us of the importance of washing our hands frequently, especially when contacting the surface of easily contaminated objects. Washing your hands frequently afterwards is a very important way to protect the virus. "Feng Luzhao said.

Smooth surface:

Experts recommend increasing the frequency of disinfection

媒体 Some media reports that the smoother the surface, the longer the virus will survive. Some facial tissues have been placed in elevator rooms in some communities. I hope passengers can press the elevator with facial tissues. Is this method really effective?

流 Introduction of Zhang Liubo, chief expert of disinfection of China CDC and director of the disinfection center of the Institute of Environment, in fact, microorganisms are not easy to survive on clean and smooth surfaces, and the virus lives longer in some dark, humid, and dirty places.

"Everyone is saying that the buttons and door handles of elevators have a higher risk these days. This risk is higher not because the virus has survived on it for a long time, but because these places are high-frequency contacts. You touch me too, because The risk of cross-infection in contact with each other is great. "Zhang Liubo said.

同时 He also proposed three corresponding strategies: one is to increase the frequency of disinfection appropriately. It used to be once a day, but now it can be used multiple times a day. Second, you can use a facial tissue or a sterilized tissue to separate it without touching it directly with your hands. Third, you can also rub your hands with a disinfectant after touching it to ensure good hand hygiene.

Travel:

Train and passenger planes are seated as far apart as possible

Recently, people have embarked on the return journey of the Spring Festival. Faced with this situation, the pressure on traffic and people-intensive places to prevent and control the epidemic has increased. What are the more specific measures for the current situation of prevention and control?

Wang Bin, deputy director of the CDC of the National Health and Health Commission, made three suggestions: First, strengthen disinfection and increase the frequency of disinfection of waiting rooms and toilets, including other public facilities; Ventilation; Third, require hotels, shopping malls, supermarkets, office buildings and other public places and workplaces to clean and disinfect indoors, and strengthen ventilation and garbage disposal.

Wang Bin also pointed out that if you want to take a train or an airplane, you should sit as far apart as possible, or sit apart. Now the return journey has not ushered in a peak, and there are conditions to sit apart. Long-distance buses are also recommended to be seated in separate seats and scattered to sit. At the same time, it is recommended that long-distance buses take a rest in the rest area every two hours, not only for rest, but mainly for opening windows for ventilation.

hermetic space:

It is recommended to travel in wrong peaks and set up emergency areas

Closed vehicles such as airplanes and high-speed rails, if some passengers have suspicious symptoms, how to take emergency measures? What special precautions should be taken with personal protection when using these vehicles?

"In terms of airplanes and trains, people are more intensive and face greater risks. In response to the infection risks faced by public transport, we have drafted the" Technical Guidelines for Disinfection Operation of Public Transport. "Zhang Liubo pointed out.

Zhang Liubo suggested that the relevant departments travel on peaks to reduce population density and further reduce risks. It is recommended that passengers wear masks in crowded places, pay attention to hand hygiene, and pay attention to distance from strangers.

The "Guide" specifically mentioned that it is best to set up an emergency area on airplanes and trains, such as vacating the next three rows for emergency purposes. If a suspicious patient is found, what we have to do is follow the arrangement and go to the quarantine area for quarantine investigation. This is relatively simple.

Office:

Minimize collective face-to-face discussions

The time for resumption of work is approaching, and preventive measures in the office are also receiving widespread attention. If someone is confirmed to be infected, is the central air conditioner in some office buildings likely to cause the epidemic to spread? After the Spring Festival resumption of work, which areas of the office are the key disinfection areas, if the disinfection frequency is too high, will it cause discomfort to people?

Regarding the central air conditioner, Zhang Liubo pointed out that before using the central air conditioner, it is necessary to understand the type of air conditioner, the air supply range, the air intake of the fresh air, the cooling pool, and the sanitary indicators. See if it can be turned on in this case. Regarding central air-conditioning, there are strict design specifications. If it is done according to the specifications, it should be safe.

"Of course, if there is an epidemic situation, you should stop using it. You should not only sterilize the central air-conditioning system but also the entire environment according to relevant requirements. After passing the evaluation, check whether the central air-conditioning can be turned on. "Zhang Liubo introduced.

洗 Wash your hands outside:

Choose a hand sanitizer or a sanitary wipe

When taking public transportation, people will inevitably touch the door, seat or pull ring, or even physically touch the surrounding passengers. At this time, they may not be able to wash their hands immediately. In this case, there are many disinfectants on the market. Can towels, disinfection sprays, and hand sanitizers be disinfected?

Zhang Liubo pointed out that as to whether disinfectants and tissue paper can keep hands clean, the first thing to say is that there are actually two ways to clean hands: one is to wash hands with running water, and the other is to wipe hands with disinfectant.

洗 There are certain conditions to wash your hands outside. You can use hand disinfectant for hand hygiene. Common hand sanitizers may be alcohol-containing hand sanitizers. If some people are allergic to alcohol, they can use alcohol-free hand sanitizers. Of course, if you do n’t have a hand sanitizer, you can wipe it with a sanitary wipe.

note! Use 75% alcohol to disinfect and pay attention to fire prevention
2020-02-03 04:55 Beijing Daily

Source Title: Use of 75% Alcohol for Disinfection Needs Fire Prevention

Recently, the topic "new type of coronavirus is afraid of alcohol intolerance to high temperature" appeared on the hot search, experts pointed out that 75% of alcohol can effectively inactivate the virus. Liu Bingtao, head of the Propaganda Section of Beijing Daxing District Fire Rescue Division, reminded residents that when 75% alcohol is used for disinfection at home, the volatilization of alcohol will increase the flammable gas in the indoor air. As long as there is a small spark in the air, it may cause flash ignition. This is more dangerous than alcohol being ignited!

For fire safety, what are the hidden dangers of alcohol fires? Liu Bingtao said that the alcohol used in daily life at a concentration of 75% (ethanol) can effectively inactivate the virus. With the development of new coronavirus epidemics, residents mostly use medical alcohol for daily disinfection, but high-concentration alcohol is flammable and explosive, and it is easy to cause fire.

"This is because alcohol contains ethanol, and ethanol is a Class A liquid, with a flash point of less than 28 ? C and a lower explosive limit of less than 10%. That is to say, alcohol is flammable, and there is a danger of fire and explosion when exposed to heat or fire," Liu Bingtao reminded When the concentration of alcohol used in the home is higher than 70%, the volatilization of alcohol increases the flammable gas in the indoor air, especially when the alcohol content in the air reaches 19% and the temperature is equal to or higher than 13 ? C. Mars will flash, which is more dangerous than alcohol being ignited.

Therefore, after spraying alcohol to disinfect clothing, furniture, etc., if the smell of alcohol in the house is very strong, do not contact it with open flames at this time, such as cooking with a gas stove, smoking, etc., including the use of some electrical switches. There is also a danger of explosion. , Need to pay great attention.

How to extinguish alcohol once it catches fire? Liu Bingtao said that alcohol burned on his body, and his clothes should be quickly removed, and then the fire on the clothes should be extinguished. If the clothing cannot be taken off, someone needs assistance. Cover the fire area with a wet towel, etc., and extinguish the fire by blocking the air. When using alcohol to ignite items such as furniture, be sure to cover the ignition point with a fire extinguisher in your home or wet items such as wet towels.

Dialogue with doctors at Huanggang County Hospital in Hubei: shortage of medical supplies becomes the biggest dilemma for primary hospitals
2020-02-03 04:54:16 Source: Daily Economic News

In Hubei Province, the most severe outbreak of pneumonia caused by the new coronavirus, except Wuhan, the outbreak in Huanggang City around Wuhan is more serious. Among the confirmed cases (as of 24:00 on January 25), Wuhan City had the largest number of 618 cases in Hubei Province, followed by Huanggang City with 122 cases, more than twice the number of Xiaogan City (55 cases), which ranked third. .

At the same time, the Huanggang version of "Xiaotangshan Hospital" is undergoing intensive renovations, with more than 1,000 beds set up to focus on treating fever patients.

如何 How is the epidemic prevention and control situation in Huanggang City? What prevention and control measures have been taken? Has it entered the epidemic outbreak period? What do medical staff have to say to strengthen the prevention and control of pneumonia outbreak of new coronavirus infection?

In this regard, the reporter of the Daily Economic News (hereinafter referred to as NBD) had an in-depth dialogue with the front-line doctors of Huangmei County People's Hospital in Huanggang City and learned that the shortage of medical supplies is still the biggest dilemma for primary-level hospitals.

Most of the patients in the Isolation Room of Puyang Hospital come from Wuhan

NBD: 122 cases of pneumonia in Huanggang City have been diagnosed. How is the epidemic situation in Huangmei County?

Dr. Wu: At present, there are not many highly suspected pneumonia patients with new-type coronavirus infection in Huangmei County. From the statistics as of 24 o'clock on January 25, there are 6 new confirmed cases.

At present, there are more than thirty patients in the isolation room of the hospital. The patients in the isolation room are in good condition and their mood is relatively stable.

NBD: Do most of the patients currently in the hospital isolation rooms come from Wuhan?

Doctor Yun: Yes. There are about 1 million people in Huangmei County. Conservative estimates are that there are more than 100,000 people returning home from Wuhan. Many people in the village have not realized the seriousness of the epidemic because of their low level of knowledge and education. And so on.

下午 On the afternoon of January 25th, "closing the village" began. Checkpoints on highway entrances and national highway junctions were also set up, and ordinary people began to pay attention.

担心 We are worried that the two-week incubation period for infected patients who came back from Wuhan around the 27th of the first month of the month has arrived, which is about the tenth day of the first month, and there may be a fever peak.

医疗 Medical supplies such as masks and protective clothing are in short supply

NBD: Are you worried that the current medical staff and material security cannot keep up?

Dr. Wu: Our grassroots medical staff have poor protection measures. Our protective clothing, masks, goggles, disinfectant, etc. are all scarce. For example, from the initial N95 mask to the later disposable surgical mask, to the disposable medical mask at the back, to the current KN95 mask, it has always been relatively scarce.

Take masks as an example. At present, our masks are basically not changed. According to the requirements, they need to be replaced every 4 hours. Now it is impossible to meet this requirement.

下面 The hospitals below Huanggang City all send out online help in the name of the hospital to recruit protective equipment. In the afternoon of January 24, our hospital issued a notice of accepting social donations, and our circle of friends was forwarding them; by January 25, the first batch of medical materials donated by caring people in Jiangsu arrived at our hospital. It is sending charcoal in the snow. Seeing the donation announcement issued by our circle of friends, some friends are also contacting us to give love and donate some protective materials such as masks.



NBD: In the case of shortage of protective products, how about the security of medical staff in our hospital?

Dr. Wu: The medical staff in the isolation room of our hospital is currently unable to guarantee sufficient rest time at work, basically fighting in exhaustion. Moreover, after work, in accordance with the requirements of the regulations, the medical staff in the isolation room are potential exposed persons, and they cannot go home. They must be isolated for observation and have a special resting place. However, many medical staff now return to their own homes. When these medical staff return home, they isolate themselves in their own homes, in a separate room and bathroom, and do not eat with their families when they eat. Most of them eat instant noodles. The doctor's condition is very difficult.

Our medical staff is actually the source of exposure when walking. During the off-hours and at home, there is a high probability that the potential virus will be transmitted to those we contact.

Relevant problems are gradually being solved. Our hospital is rehabilitating the rehabilitation department, and the frontline medical staff will use the rehabilitation department as a temporary rest point. However, the transformation takes time. If only one hospital is not enough at this time, the government Should consider providing hotels and other places around the hospital to front-line medical staff as a place to rest and isolate.

Even so, the attitude of most of the medical staff in our hospital is now more positive, and all doctors in our department have signed the "competition letter". Before, I was not worried about being infected, I was just worried that I would not get good protection, and I would bring the potential virus to myself to my family.
