How can we prevent novel coronavirus infection, especially on the way back by car? Some friends are very concerned about whether they need to wear masks when driving. How to adjust the air conditioner and so on, and how to do the daily prevention work of private cars? Let's talk about these issues today.
According to China CDC's Temporary Guide to Private Car Prevention, during the epidemic period, the following measures should be taken for private cars to return: try to return at the wrong peak and plan the route in advance. Please take the initiative to cooperate with the quarantine personnel.
Drivers who choose to return by car during their stay in Spring Festival travel rush can use the navigation map to plan their route as early as possible before going out. They should arrange their trips reasonably and travel at wrong peaks to avoid unnecessary congestion caused by concentrated return of vehicles. Optimistic about whether the expressway is smooth in advance can avoid taking congested sections in advance. At the same time, it is worth noting that some expressway toll stations may choose to close during this special period, and it is necessary to bypass other toll stations to get off the expressway, so riders who return by car should pay special attention.
In addition, the editor also suggested that private car riders travel at the wrong peak as much as possible to achieve "three avoidance", that is, avoiding peak hours, avoiding popular routes and avoiding congested nodes. In addition, attention should be paid to the safety inspection and maintenance of the vehicle before returning it, and tools such as warning signs should be carried with the vehicle in case of emergency.
In the near future, the National Highway Epidemic Prevention Checkpoint will also inspect all vehicles entering and leaving, and check the body temperature of all personnel. Therefore, when approaching the checkpoint on the way back by car, you should pay attention to slow down, please observe the driving order when you meet the queue, and actively cooperate with the quarantine inspection.
During the waiting for isolation, the whole vehicle personnel must wear masks, do not get off and walk around at will, and keep the car well ventilated to avoid human virus infection.
On the way back to the vehicle from the service area, you must wash your hands with disinfectant besides wearing a mask. If you can't buy alcohol to wipe them, or disinfect paper towels. Besides alcohol disinfectants and the like, iodophor, chlorine-containing disinfectants and skin disinfectants such as hydrogen peroxide disinfectants can also be used. It is best to use medical alcohol to scrub the easily accessible parts such as seats, steering wheels, windows and car handles.
If relatives and friends take the vehicle and their health status is unknown, both drivers and passengers must wear surgical masks and keep their distance from passengers. The air conditioner can't open the internal circulation, so it needs to open the window properly for ventilation.
After relatives and friends get off the bus, the driver should quickly open the window to ventilate, and disinfect all items that passengers come into contact with, including door handles, steering wheels, windows, windshields, seats, etc. It is best to disinfect the vehicle thoroughly.
Finally, the editor reminded everyone to pay special attention to long-distance return and diet. We must ensure a regular diet for three meals a day. We can prepare some clean, hygienic and convenient food and water in the car in advance to ensure that the food we eat is cooked in time. We also need to arrange the schedule reasonably. Never drive for a long time. If it leads to overwork and decreased immunity, it will easily lead to virus infection. Finally, I wish the majority of riders a safe return journey!
