    Low immunity to the crowd easily develop into severe disease

    The H7N9 flu, which occurs in humans, is an acute respiratory disease that is clinically characterized by fever, sore throat and cough. It can rapidly progress to severe pneumonia and cause serious illness. Most of the incubation period of the disease within a week, the source of infection is carried by the H7N9 influenza virus in birds, the patient is mainly due to contact with or infected with the virus infected objects.

    Prevention and control experts pointed out that live poultry and the market contaminated by the bird flu virus are the main sources of human bird flu. The live poultry market is a high-risk area under the control of non-restricted live poultry and the implementation of some prevention and control measures. Live poultry market "1110" system implementation, immune coverage of live birds, the immune effect and the implementation of quarantine of live poultry will affect the incidence of H7N9 Guangzhou.

    December 18, city and district health and family planning department joint action, the city's poultry market to implement the "1110" system made a clear and unannounced visits. According to the inspection, most of the poultry markets can implement the "1110" system as required. However, there are still some markets where illegal sale of live poultry (light poultry) or the surrounding live poultry stalls, the incomplete cleaning and disinfection of stalls, and Implementation of live stock zero and other issues.

    Prevention and control experts suggested to strictly implement "1110" system in live poultry market and to strengthen source prevention and control; continue to promote poultry "centralized slaughtering, cold chain distribution, fresh market" and gradually expand restricted areas for live poultry transactions; strengthen monitoring and early warning of risk assessment ; Strengthen fever pneumonia and severe pneumonia cases investigation.

    There is evidence that exposure to live poultry and deactivation of poultry markets are important risk factors for H7N9 infection. Secretions may be the main route of transmission of H7N9 virus through the respiratory tract or direct contact with poultry carrying the virus and its excrement.

    Experts say the H7N9 virus infects humans mainly through aspiration of droplets or droplets containing avian influenza virus, direct contact with birds infected with the bird flu virus or its secretions and excretions, indirect contact with bird flu-contaminated items And the environment.

    Different groups have different countermeasures against bird flu

The current monitoring found that H7N9 virus particularly like to "bully" the elderly suffering from chronic diseases, as well as pregnant women, children and other less immune "soft persimmons", so these groups in order to protect themselves, try not to go live poultry market.

    For the general population, the most important precautionary measures are to reduce the exposure to live and live poultry markets, to provide personal protection and to develop good hygiene practices. Experts advise, try to avoid contact with livestock; purchased from the formal channels of chilled poultry, edible poultry eggs should be fully cooked and pay attention to raw and cooked separately.
