At 21:00 on March 26, Beijing time (9:30 ET), the Chinese Embassy in the United States invited Zhang Wenhong, director of the Department of Infectious Diseases at Huashan Hospital, to answer the question of epidemic prevention for international students and overseas Chinese.
Tao Wen, an overseas Chinese in the United States, asked during the connection: In the United States, the postman will deliver mail to the post box of each family's doorstep, and it is paper. If ordinary people take it home, it is a big hidden danger. How should everyone operate to reduce risk?
Zhang Wenhong said that this matter is relatively easy to handle. "After the mail is opened, the advertisement is placed next to it. If it is useful, take it out and throw the shell away. The classification should be classified, the processing should be handled, and the hands should be washed. With this treatment, the risk of infection is extremely low. "
He further stated that in Shanghai, no one has an unknown source of infection, that is, everyone can find people who are in close contact with him, which means that these people are infected by contacting letters in public places. The risk is extremely low.
He also supports the trick: if you are worried, you can wear latex gloves or spray with disinfectant containing alcohol. There is another way. If you still ca n’t bear it, many people in the United States have ovens. If you put your mail in an oven at 60 degrees Celsius for an hour, the paper will not burn, and the virus will be wiped out. Touch it, kiss It doesn't matter.
