France ’s epidemic control in April is still expected. The European countries ’medical system and overall response capacity are very good. Strong, the follow-up will stabilize, I hope that the students and overseas Chinese who are still sticking to France will have confidence in the fight against the epidemic.
Guo Dexian, a spokesman of the All-French Chinese Scholars and Students Association (All-Faculty of Law), asked Zhang Wenhong about the ways in which international students can improve their own immunity. Zhang Wenhong replied that they should go out and protect themselves reasonably, and store more in the supermarket; no morning shopping Exercise properly when you are human; ensure balanced nutrition, supplement protein intake, and recommend drinks and foods such as milk, eggs, and steaks.
Guo Dexian said in an interview with a reporter from China News Service after joining the live broadcast connection with Zhang Wenhong that Zhang Wenhong introduced a large amount of epidemic prevention knowledge to foreign students and overseas Chinese in an easy-to-understand way, which benefited everyone. She said that before and after the French "closing the city" in mid-March, the All-French Law Association launched anti-epidemic recipes, which not only helped everyone maintain information exchange and sharing, but also enriched the life of the students during the "closing city" ban.

Guo Dexian said that the All-Faculty of Science and Technology has now established a relatively complete anti-epidemic work system, especially the establishment of an online medical consultation service WeChat group.

Zhang Wenhong also expressed support for this online medical consultation service.
Zhang Wenhong said during the connection that not all people with symptoms need to be tested, and most home-isolators do not need to go to the hospital. Isolate mild patients at home, adjust their mentality, sleep and nutrition. Go to the hospital for treatment when symptoms of obvious lung damage appear. According to reporters, during the French epidemic, mild patients should see a doctor through online consultation and other means of isolation at home; call the emergency call number when there are serious symptoms of infection.
In fact, French Chinese doctors have also launched actions to create favorable conditions for the consultation of overseas Chinese in France during the epidemic. The French emergency medical system Chinese emergency rescue hotline is scheduled for trial operation on the 5th and will be officially opened on the 6th. The hotline is in charge of Dr. Nana, a medical clinic in Paris, and is used by Chinese overseas Chinese in France for emergency help during the epidemic, such as poor general health and difficulty breathing.

In response to a question from Pan Chunlin, president of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce in Southern France, Zhang Wenhong said that there is no difference in the infection of the new coronavirus in different countries. What is different is the distribution of early medical resources in various countries. He believes that Europe is currently trying to stop the epidemic, and fighting the new coronavirus may be a "protracted war."
Pan Chunlin told a reporter from China News Service that Zhang Wenhong showed to overseas Chinese and overseas students that as long as the prevention work is done, the chance of being infected is actually very low, and he hopes that everyone will maintain a good psychological state. After listening to Zhang Wenhong's answer, the Chinese and overseas Chinese have a clear heart, knowing what to do in various specific situations, and will not panic. To the best of his knowledge, there are no reports of confirmed cases among overseas Chinese in Southern France.
According to the Chinese Embassy in France, of the 700,000 overseas Chinese and more than 40,000 foreign students in France, there are currently only a dozen overseas Chinese and one overseas student diagnosed locally. Regarding this report card, Zhang Wenhong believes that everyone has done a "very good", pointing out that this infection rate is only a few tenths of the infection rate of the entire France.
