Interview with Zhang Boli: Epidemic prevention cannot be taken lightly! December this year and January next year are still at higher risk
Recently, sporadic cases of new coronary pneumonia involving cold-chain food have appeared in many places, which has aroused public concern.
Can imported cold chain food be eaten with confidence?
Can sporadic cases be avoided?
What do medical experts think about the current epidemic?
Zhang Boli, winner of the national honorary title of "People's Hero", academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, and president of Tianjin University of Traditional Chinese Medicine accepted an exclusive interview with CCTV News on November 28 to answer relevant questions one by one.
Protection must be eliminated
Talking about the recent sporadic cases in Shanghai, Tianjin, and Inner Mongolia, Zhang Boli said that the current development of the epidemic has reached a new stage. When implementing "foreign defense import", we must not only prevent people but also objects.
In terms of anti-object, work must be done carefully.
Zhang Boli believes that people who are engaged in work related to imported cold chain food and imported goods should be meticulous in their protective work and must wear masks and gloves when they come into contact with such items.
If sporadic cases occur in a certain area, active and strict prevention and control measures should be taken according to the characteristics of the area.
For ordinary people, Zhang Boli believes that imported cold chain food can be eaten with confidence, and imported packages can also be collected with confidence, but remember to take care of it.
For example, when buying imported cold chain food, avoid direct contact with your hands and wear disposable gloves; wash the food immediately after buying it home, and wear masks and gloves when cleaning; do not eat such food raw , Must be cooked before eating.
When accepting packages from high-risk areas, everyone should wear masks and gloves, and use alcohol to disinfect the surface of the package. After disinfection, let the package sit for a period of time. Do not open it immediately, or place the package in a ventilated place. Open for processing after a day or two.
If possible, it is best to kill the items in the package.
After handling the package, also dispose of the masks and gloves worn.
Zhang Boli said, "Starting from the most detailed and starting from everything, personal protection is very important."
Stay vigilant in winter when spring flowers bloom, the epidemic will get better
Zhang Boli said that the severe global epidemic means that we cannot completely avoid sporadic sporadic cases. "As long as there is another country in the world that does not control the epidemic, our country will not be truly'peace'."
Therefore, while our country is doing a good job of protection, it must also support other countries in fighting the epidemic. This is what my country has been doing.
Zhang Boli also said that in view of my country's current testing methods and capabilities, the people's awareness and strictness of the implementation of protective measures, and the ten months of anti-epidemic experience, my country can only spread the epidemic at multiple points and will never reproduce the epidemic. Large-scale outbreak.
Zhang Boli reminded that in winter, the weather is extremely cold. December this year and January next year are still relatively high-risk periods. Our prevention and control work must not be taken lightly. We must be highly vigilant and preventive.
When the spring blossoms in April and May next year, I believe that the new crown vaccine can be vaccinated, and the virus is also mutating, the overall situation of the epidemic will be significantly eased.
Chinese medicine in the post-epidemic era should show better results
Traditional Chinese medicine has been involved in the treatment of the epidemic in the early stage, and the combination of Chinese and Western medicine and both Chinese and Western medicine have become the highlights of China's anti-epidemic program.
This year, Zhang Boli also connected with overseas medical experts many times to introduce Chinese medicine anti-epidemic experience.
Zhang Boli believes that in the post-epidemic era, Chinese medicine should take advantage of the trend to let more people accept and like Chinese medicine.
At the same time, sum up the experience of Chinese medicine in fighting the epidemic, and establish a system for the prevention and treatment of infectious diseases, so that when faced with other infectious diseases in the future, Chinese medicine can be involved in the first time to respond to the characteristics of Chinese medicine.
"Many infectious diseases are new outbreaks. At this time, there are no vaccines and no specific medicines. However, Chinese medicine has effective programs that can help patients gain the upper hand. This epidemic has proved this point. This is the case with the epidemic experience."
In addition, Zhang Boli said that Chinese medicine also has advantages in the treatment of other major diseases, chronic diseases, and senile diseases. Chinese medicine should study how to use these advantages to provide better curative effects and serve the people of the country.
Chinese medicine has not only played a huge role in the domestic fight against the epidemic, but the enthusiasm and understanding of Chinese medicine overseas has also greatly increased.
Zhang Boli said that currently Lianhua Qingwen Capsules have been approved by the government in more than ten countries, and many foreign medical experts have come to ask questions about the efficacy of traditional Chinese medicine and whether acupuncture can be used to treat new coronary pneumonia.
Zhang Boli said that Chinese medicine will also play a very good role in the rehabilitation and treatment of sequelae of patients with new coronary pneumonia.
