China News Service, July 27. According to the WeChat official account of the Chinese Embassy in Uganda, an employee of an overseas Chinese business enterprise in Uganda (a male Chinese citizen in his 20s) has recently continued to have a fever and went to Makerere University Hospital on July 24 A nucleic acid test was performed and the test result was obtained on the 26th, which showed positive for the new coronavirus pneumonia.
After receiving the relevant information, the embassy immediately called the employee to express condolences, and asked the person in charge of the company to close and disinfect the housing of the case in accordance with relevant prevention and control regulations, and quickly investigate close contacts and take quarantine measures on the spot to report health conditions at any time . At the same time, the embassy coordinated the medical team to assist Uzbekistan to conduct remote consultations on the case, to understand his physical health, and to provide targeted medical guidance. At present, the Entebbe Referral Hospital has contacted and admitted the case, and the case's physical and mental condition is relatively stable. It was understood that the employee had opened a shop on William Street before he developed a fever and had been wearing a mask during the business period.
In view of the above, and especially considering that Uganda has experienced consecutive deaths of new crown pneumonia in recent days, the Chinese Embassy in Uganda once again strongly reminds overseas Chinese in Uganda and Chinese-funded institutions in Uganda:
(1) Please carry out self-inspection immediately based on this, report important information to the embassy in a timely manner, and further strengthen prevention and control awareness and internal and external prevention and control methods, and contact the Uzbek health department for guidance if necessary.
(2) The experience and practice of neighboring countries have proved that downtown areas and commercial streets are areas where Chinese citizens are at high risk of contracting the new crown pneumonia virus. Chinese citizens will face a higher risk of infection when relevant countries, especially the black belt disease, are unblocked. Please be sure. Highly vigilant, in view of this, it is strongly recommended that overseas Chinese doing business in downtown areas and commercial streets such as Williams Street in Kampala must suspend business for their own life and health and continue to close their doors to avoid the epidemic.
(3) Scientific research shows that wearing masks can play a protective role to a certain extent. You must upgrade your own protective measures in an all-round way, and wear N95 masks, protective masks, and goggles when necessary.
(4) Continue to strengthen the bottom line thinking, always tighten the string of epidemic prevention and control, and always pay attention to the development of the Uzbek epidemic and the prevention and control trends, especially the development trend in the next stage. Persevere, do not relax, do not slacken off, resolutely put an end to paralysis, and be prepared for a protracted war, including emergency supplies. Strictly abide by the Uzbek government's epidemic prevention regulations and raise awareness of safety precautions. Masks must be worn in public places to avoid contact with high-risk personnel such as truck drivers. Guide employees to deal with the epidemic scientifically, maintain a good attitude, and avoid unnecessary panic. Do not go out unless necessary to reduce the risk of cross infection. At the same time, the majority of overseas Chinese are asked not to be excessively anxious, maintain a rational and scientific attitude, strengthen scientific prevention, pay attention to physical exercise, and enhance their own immunity.
