Yang Xiaobing, director of the Infectious Disease Prevention and Control Institute of Wuhan Center for Disease Control and Prevention, explained in detail↓↓
Yang Xiaobing introduced that on January 8, the new crown virus infection was implemented as "Class B and B Control", and the prevention and control measures were further optimized and adjusted.
At present, it is the epidemic season of new crown virus infection and other respiratory infectious diseases such as influenza, and the source of infection in society is more uncertain. For citizens who have not been infected, they must take personal protection,
go to shopping malls, hospitals and other crowded places, and take airplanes It is very important to insist on wearing a mask in closed vehicles such as trains and trains.
At the same time, Yang Xiaobing emphasized that vaccination is still the most economical and effective means of preventing and controlling infectious diseases. The new crown virus vaccine used at this stage is still very effective in preventing infection, severe disease and reducing death. Or citizens who have not yet completed the full vaccination and booster vaccination should get vaccinated as soon as possible to get better protection before the peak flow of people during the Spring Festival.
Especially the elderly over the age of 60 and those with chronic underlying diseases are likely to aggravate their own underlying diseases after being infected with the new
coronavirus. Early protection.
So, in the upcoming Spring Festival holiday, do people who have already "passed the sun" still need to continue to wear masks?
Will it get infected again?
Yang Xiaobing introduced that after being infected with the new coronavirus, people with normal immune function will develop a certain resistance to the new coronavirus, and the possibility of re-infection with other Amicron variants in a short period of time is less likely, but
winter and spring are also flu and other diseases.
During the period of high incidence of respiratory infectious diseases, it is recommended not to downgrade personal protection, so as not to be infected with other diseases just after "Yangkang".
In addition, after being infected with the new coronavirus for a long period of time, the protective effect of antibodies decreases. When encountering a strain with strong immune escape ability, it cannot be ruled out that a small number of recovered people, especially those with low immunity, may be reinfected.
Yang Xiaobing said that in the past few years, due to people's good personal protective measures and hygienic habits such as wearing masks and washing hands frequently, everyone has been largely protected from a variety of respiratory infectious diseases.
Although the prevention and control measures have been adjusted, good hygiene habits must be adhered to.
It is recommended that citizens and friends still take good personal protection during the Spring Festival holiday. Do not relax your vigilance, including wearing masks, ventilating your home room frequently, paying attention to hand hygiene, keeping a distance of one meter, not getting together, and gathering less, so as to welcome the New Year safely and healthily.
