Wang Huaqing, chief expert of the immunization program of the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, introduced at the press conference of the Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism of the State Council on April 1 that Omicron is not only susceptible to people under the age of 3, but also susceptible to people over the age of 3.
As we all know, the current situation of epidemic prevention and control is still very severe and complicated. During the new crown epidemic, especially when there is an epidemic, there are a few suggestions for the protection of children under 3 years old:
First, it is very important for family members and staff who live and study together with children or infants to protect these people.
Including what we call daily health monitoring, hand hygiene, social distancing, ventilation, wearing masks and other related measures.
Second, reduce gatherings, including simplifying personal travel trajectories, and minimizing crowded places, confined spaces, especially public places, so as to reduce the risk of infection.
Third, whether it is the parents of infants and young children or the family members who live with them, including the staff who provide services to these children, vaccination is not only to protect these people themselves, but also to protect their children.
