  Since January 8, my country has officially implemented "Class B and B Control" for the infection of the new coronavirus.

Is it necessary to continue to wear masks after the implementation of "Class B and B pipes"?

Do we still need to emphasize personal protection?

The Spring Festival is approaching. In order to ensure a healthy New Year, what aspects should everyone pay more attention to?

The Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism of the State Council organized Chang Zhaorui, a researcher at the China Center for Disease Control and Prevention Division, and Yin Wenwu, chief physician of the China Center for Disease Control and Prevention Division, to answer hot issues of public concern.

  Question: Some netizens believe that after the implementation of "Class B and B Control", the protection can be relaxed, and it is not necessary to wear a mask when entering public places.

Is this notion correct?

  Chang Zhaorui: The current domestic COVID-19 epidemic is still at different stages of the epidemic. It is still necessary to continue to emphasize personal protection and wear masks in a scientific and standardized manner, especially in the following situations: First, when entering hospitals, shopping malls, supermarkets, indoor venues, airport stations When taking airplanes, trains, subways and other public transportation, van elevators, etc. in public places with closed environments and densely populated places, medical surgical masks and above-level masks should be worn throughout the process.

The second is when entering places where vulnerable people gather, such as pension institutions and social welfare institutions.

The third is when there are symptoms related to the new coronavirus infection such as fever, dry cough, fatigue, and sore throat.

Fourth, when in close contact with or caring for people infected with the new coronavirus and those with symptoms related to the new coronavirus infection.

The fifth is medical workers, transportation, shopping malls, supermarkets, catering tourism, express delivery, cleaning and other public services and staff in confined places.

To stop the spread of the new crown virus, everyone has a responsibility, the details are the most important, and persistence is the most important thing.

  Yin Wenwu: In fact, after the implementation of "Class B and B Control", the source of infection in the society is more uncertain, and it is even more important to do a good job in personal protection and be the first person responsible for your own health.

During the epidemic, if you commute to work, it is best to keep "two points and one line".

For some key groups, such as the elderly with underlying diseases, children, pregnant women, etc., it is best to go out less and gather less during the epidemic.

When the epidemic is severe, try not to go to theaters, KTV, chess and card rooms, script killings and other places with closed spaces and dense crowds.

  Question: This year is the first Spring Festival after the implementation of the "Class B and B Control". In order to ensure a healthy New Year, what aspects should the public pay more attention to?

  Chang Zhaorui: In order to ensure that the masses have a healthy, safe and peaceful Spring Festival, we need to pay more attention to the following aspects:

  The first is to continue to do a good job of personal protection, adhere to frequent hand washing, wearing masks, frequent ventilation, serving chopsticks, maintaining social distance, coughing etiquette, cleaning and disinfection and other hygienic habits. Even after recovering from the new crown virus, personal protection should be done well;

  The second is to maintain a healthy lifestyle such as regular work and rest, reasonable diet, moderate exercise, and a good attitude;

  The third is to try not to hold or participate in large-scale family gathering activities, reduce the number of family members and friends gathering for dinner, shorten the time for dinner, and also send blessings through video and phone calls, especially to avoid passing the risk of infection to the elderly at home;

  Fourth, people who meet the conditions for vaccination of the new crown vaccine should complete the full vaccination and enhanced immunization as soon as possible to protect the health of themselves and their families;

  The fifth is to strengthen health monitoring and pay close attention to the health status of yourself and your family members. If you have symptoms such as fever, dry cough, fatigue, sore throat, or a positive nucleic acid or antigen test, try to stay in a well-ventilated, relatively independent room , Minimize contact with people living with you as much as possible, pay close attention to the progress of the disease, and seek medical treatment in time if the disease worsens.
