What should be paid attention to in health monitoring?
Actively monitor the health status of individuals and family members. You need to take the initiative to measure your temperature when you have a fever. If you have children at home, you should touch their foreheads sooner or later. If you have a fever, you should take his temperature.
Prepare common materials. Household products include thermometers, disposable masks, household disinfection products, etc.
How should the home environment be disinfected?
There is no need for special disinfection unless there are patients suspected of infection at home. Almost all the current cases are related to Wuhan, and some of them are family gatherings and close contacts.
Don't be too nervous if you haven't been exposed to any confirmed or suspected cases and haven't eaten out recently. Home is still a relatively safe environment.
If you are really worried, you can also disinfect the parts that you often contact at home, such as mobile phones, door handles and remote controls. It should be noted that if the surface itself is dirty, it needs to be cleaned before disinfection.
Disinfection can be done with 75% alcohol cotton pad or alcohol wipe, or diluted sodium hypochlorite, which is our common 84 disinfectant.
Generally speaking, the dilution ratio of 84 disinfectant (or other household bleach containing 5% sodium hypochlorite) and water is 1: 100. Remember to wear rubber gloves (kitchen gloves or medical gloves) and masks when configuring, and follow the instructions on the product packaging. You'd better wear goggles and waterproof apron.
Smoked liquor cannot be disinfected, and even if the alcohol concentration in the air is highly volatile, the disinfection effect cannot be achieved.
Will the window ventilation let the virus float in?
Many people are confused about opening windows for ventilation. Since the home is the safest, isn't it just to let the virus float in by opening the window for ventilation?
In fact, window ventilation helps to reduce the number of viruses that may exist indoors and also helps to update the indoor air. The outdoor air is "diluted" and it is almost impossible to bring the virus indoors.
If there are patients with suspected acute respiratory infection at home, do not open windows or use fresh air system during ventilation to prevent the gas in the patient's area from entering the clean area.
What matters should be paid attention to in food safety?
Chopping boards and knives for handling raw and cooked food should be separated. Wash your hands between handling raw food and cooked food. Even in epidemic areas, meat can be safely eaten if it is thoroughly cooked and properly handled during food preparation.
