[Explanation] Recently, "wearing a mask when suffering from infectious respiratory diseases such as influenza" is going to be written into the new rules of Beijing civilization, which has caused widespread concern. On March 27, reporters took to the streets to conduct random interviews. The interviewed people expressed their understanding and support for the need to wear a mask to get the flu.
[Contemporary] Mr. Li, Beijing citizen
I feel that it is a state that is more supportive (why) because whether it is influenza or new coronary pneumonia is a relatively big test for overall (public) health, starting from such small things is conducive to preventing such major future outbreaks Event. On the one hand, it is for your own consideration, it is beneficial to protect yourself, and on the other hand, it prevents some virus and germs from being transmitted to others.

Support (why) is good to everyone. In the past (this season), there were actually many kinds of flu, but recently there were fewer of them. It still shows that if there is some basic protection, it may not be easy for yourself to get sick. (You need to wear a mask to get the flu) If it is incorporated into laws and regulations, it may be a little binding, it may be more conscious, and it is good to develop a habit.
[Explanation] During the interview, interviewees generally believed that when entering or leaving a high-risk area, or when they found symptoms of infectious respiratory diseases, they should consciously wear masks in public places. In addition to wearing masks, the public must also develop other public health habits.

I think public health consciousness is a very large scope, not only wearing a mask, including the use of public chopsticks, in fact, the use of public chopsticks does not seem to be very profound, but In fact, many diseases are also transmitted through saliva. At this time (using) public chopsticks is very important. I am afraid that (using) public chopsticks is not as difficult as we think. It may be better to slowly develop habits.
[Contemporary] Mr. Li, Beijing citizen
Wear a mask when you are sick. On the other hand, try not to spit, and sneeze or cough. On the other hand, wash your hands frequently, pay attention to personal hygiene, and maintain indoor ventilation and disinfection.
[Explanation] Regarding the topic of "the need to wear a mask to get the flu" that people are concerned about, Fu Hua, a professor at the School of Public Health at Fudan University, said in an interview that consciously wearing a mask when suffering from infectious respiratory diseases such as influenza is "Breath etiquette" is also a manifestation of responsibility.

The one we talk about is called "breathing etiquette". Of course, everyone has to take responsibility for their own health issues, but in fact there are some health problems that you also have to take responsibility for others. I think if you have the flu or respiratory disease, generally I think you wear a mask, this is a good habit. You should also be responsible for not passing it on to others.
[Explanation] In addition, Fu Hua said that it is a long-term process for people to form a good public health awareness and habits. At the same time as legal restrictions, publicity and education must be strengthened.
[Concurrent] Fu Hua, Professor, School of Public Health, Fudan University
One is to legally regulate the behavior of the public through the law, which may also allow him to slowly implement it and slowly develop habit. Then one is to popularize science and form a cultural atmosphere, because we think that any laws are external norms, but if the people really want to internalize, you also want him to know why I did it. In addition, health habits and behavioral issues must be tackled from an early age. I think we have to make up this lesson for our children right now, so that he can establish such a concept of being relatively solid.
