We must focus on the prevention and control of respiratory infectious diseases such as COVID-19, influenza, avian influenza, chickenpox, scarlet fever, viral infectious diarrhea caused by norovirus, rotavirus and other viral infections , and Brucella infection caused by contact with sick cattle and sheep and other epidemic animals. In case of zoonotic infectious diseases , attention should also be paid to the rational use of braziers, coal stoves and gas water heaters to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning .

coronavirus infection
Reports of new coronavirus infection cases in Shenyang have increased compared with last month, but they still remain at a low epidemic level. Among local cases, the JN.1 mutant strain of the new coronavirus has become the dominant epidemic strain.
February coincides with the Spring Festival. With the cross-regional movement of people and the increase in crowd gatherings before and after the Spring Festival, the COVID-19 epidemic is expected to gradually increase, and it is necessary to prevent a rebound of the epidemic and the occurrence of cluster epidemics.
health tips
(1) Strengthen personal health management. You should pay close attention to the health status of your family and yourself on a daily basis. When you have fever, dry cough, fatigue, sore throat, loss of smell (taste), diarrhea and other uncomfortable symptoms, avoid going to school or work while sick, and go to the fever clinic of a nearby hospital in a timely manner as appropriate. ; Wear a mask all the way to medical treatment and try to avoid taking public transportation.
(2) It is recommended that elderly people aged 60 and above or people aged 18-59 with serious underlying diseases, people with low immune function, and people at high risk of infection give priority to the new coronavirus vaccine containing the antigen components of the XBB variant strain. People who have completed the basic immunity of the new coronavirus vaccine (vaccinated with 2 doses or more) or have been infected with the new coronavirus and are eligible for vaccination can be vaccinated.
(3) Wear masks scientifically with reference to the "Guidelines for Public Wearing of Masks to Prevent Respiratory Infectious Diseases (2023 Edition)". Other countermeasures can refer to influenza.
influenza
The influenza epidemic period begins in October, and influenza viruses will remain the main pathogen of respiratory infections for some time to come.
In February, our city will continue to see alternating or co-epidemic trends of various respiratory diseases. Due to the continued low temperature and large population movements during the Spring Festival, influenza-like case data will continue to maintain a high trend.
health tips
(1) Encourage key groups such as the elderly aged 65 and above, patients with underlying diseases, children aged 6 months to 5 years, pregnant women, and medical staff to receive influenza vaccines. Take personal protection and avoid going to crowded places as much as possible.
(2) All types of institutions and units with dense personnel should carry out ventilation, disinfection and other influenza prevention and control work, especially places where air conditioning is turned on for a long time, windows are closed, and areas with poor ventilation.
(3) Open windows regularly for ventilation several times a day to keep indoor air fresh. During the peak period of the epidemic, you should avoid going to crowded places. If relevant symptoms occur, you should seek medical treatment in time. Try to rest at home and go to school without being sick to reduce the spread of the disease.

Avian Influenza
It is currently the season when wild poultry migration causes high incidence of poultry epidemics. Live poultry markets have been closed in some areas in the south. The H10N5 human avian influenza epidemic reported in Zhejiang has sounded the alarm. Experts have assessed that the complete genetic analysis of the virus shows that the H10N5 virus is of poultry origin. The virus is sexually transmitted and does not have the ability to effectively infect humans. This epidemic is an occasional sporadic case of cross-species transmission from poultry to humans. The risk of the virus infecting humans is low, and no human-to-human transmission has occurred.
health tips
(1) The public should avoid contact with sick and dead poultry in daily life and try to avoid direct contact with live poultry.
(2) Pay attention to food hygiene and improve self-protection awareness. If you have fever or respiratory symptoms, you should wear a mask and seek medical treatment as soon as possible.
(3) During the fever treatment process, the patient’s contact history with wild animals and poultry must be explained to the doctor, and the risk of human infection with avian influenza must not be ignored.
infectious diarrhea
During the Spring Festival, there are more people gathering for dinner and gatherings, with frequent contacts, increased chances of exposure to enteric pathogens, and increased risk of viral diarrhea. People should take precautions and pay attention to personal hygiene and food hygiene and safety.
health tips
(1) Pay attention to drinking water safety: do not drink raw water, well water, or water that has not been disinfected in accordance with the regulations. Drink boiled water or bottled water.
(2) Pay attention to food safety: keep the food-making environment, hands, and food clean; separate raw and cooked foods to avoid cross-contamination; wash raw fruits and vegetables; cook food thoroughly to kill microorganisms; no matter it is hot, or cold food should be kept at a safe temperature. When dining, choose regular restaurants or restaurants with good hygienic conditions, and do not eat spoiled or stale food; take-out food on transportation and during travel must be washed or cooked in advance, raw and cooked food should be served separately, and cannot be stored for an extended period of time. long.
(3) Maintain hand hygiene: Standard hand washing is the most important and effective preventive measure to avoid contact and infection with enteroviruses. Wash your hands carefully with soap and water for at least 20 seconds.
(4) Disinfect frequently: Infant bottles, toys, classroom floors, door handles, desks and chairs, teaching aids, school buses, etc. are disinfected according to standards.
(5) Protect yourself: Wear gloves when cleaning vomit, feces and diapers, and wash your hands thoroughly afterwards.
(6) Seek medical attention early: If symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, etc. occur, seek medical treatment as soon as possible and do not go to work or go to school while sick.
