Q: Can I open the window while driving during the epidemic?
A: It is recommended to open more windows for ventilation under open and non-congested road conditions. Vehicles slowly pass through downtown areas, crowded sections and underground garages with poor air circulation. In such a place, it is suggested to close the window and open the internal circulation.
Q: Do I need to wear a mask when driving?
A: If you drive a car, you don't have to wear it on an empty road. Many people in the car need to wear it. Although a few brands such as Volvo and Tesla have PM2.5 air filtration system or "anti-biochemical mode", most of the models currently on the road do not have strong epidemic prevention functions. And in fact, many times, you suddenly talk to the parking lot staff or get off the bus temporarily, and often open the window and forget to wear a mask, so put it on.
Q: Can the car be disinfected with alcohol?
A: There is no problem in a small area, but there is a safety hazard in large area spraying! A man in Tianjin disinfected his clothes with alcohol. After getting on the bus, he wanted to light a cigarette and call the police, which immediately caused a fire. Although it turns out that this is false news, we should take a warning.
The flash point of ethanol is 12.78℃, which is a flammable liquid. The flash point of 75% ethanol disinfectant is about 22℃, and the fire risk still belongs to Class A. Even if wiping disinfection is used, there may be hidden dangers in static electricity generated by drying clothes in winter.
According to the suggestion of China CDC, chlorine-containing disinfectants, chlorine dioxide or disinfectant wipes are recommended. The most common is 84 disinfectant, which needs to be diluted according to the instructions.
Q: Where is it easy to accumulate bacteria or viruses in the car?
Answer: Places where hands often touch, such as inner and outer door handles, car keys, steering wheel, gear lever, central control button, hand brake, etc. And carpets. So gloves that usually look a little loaded with pens are very useful at this time.
Q: What materials should be prepared in the car?
A: Besides masks and goggles (sunglasses and glasses), there are also wet tissues, disposable disinfectant, band-AIDS, and so on. Prepare drinking water and dry food for a long journey. Check the condition of the car before long-distance driving, fill it up, and try to go to gas stations and service areas as little as possible. The service area is a blind spot for monitoring, and there is a risk of cross-infection between restaurants and bathrooms.

A: Besides masks and goggles (sunglasses and glasses), there are also wet tissues, disposable disinfectant, band-AIDS, and so on. Prepare drinking water and dry food for a long journey.

Q: What should I pay attention to when entering Shanghai?
A: At present, every car in Shanghai high-speed toll station has to be inspected. It is reported that a toll station, with an average of 900 cars per hour, is still very crowded. If you want to avoid congestion, you can only choose to enter Shanghai from early morning to 8 am. Check whether you are walking on the ground or at high speed. Don't take chances.
Secondly, before measuring the body temperature, open the window in advance to ventilate, so that the temperature inside and outside the car is basically the same, to prevent the body temperature from exceeding 37℃ due to the high temperature of the air conditioner, otherwise the staff will pull over and measure later, wasting time and aggravating congestion.
Third, people who come to Shanghai need to fill out a "health registration form", which is very slow to fill out on paper. It is suggested to scan the QR code to fill in the form online and show the electronic version to the quarantine personnel at the exit. In addition, you can enter the official account of "Shanghai Publishing" WeChat, click "Pay attention to bidding" below, or fill in the health registration online.
If it is a vehicle with an E-A license plate, it will definitely be inspected, and it is needless to say that you bring all kinds of documents. It is illegal to conceal the contact history of epidemic areas, refuse to accept quarantine and compulsory isolation or treatment.
Finally, remind friends who are idle at home not to have delusions.
