Authoritative Answer: When the public goes to the hospital for medical treatment, they should do personal protection

On April 28, the Information Office of the Provincial Government held the 50th press conference on the current round of epidemic prevention and control in Jilin Province. According to He Yinghua, director of the Environment and Health Institute of the Provincial Center for Disease Control and Prevention: Under the current situation of epidemic prevention and control, the public should pay attention to the following issues when they go to the hospital for medical treatment.

First, be sure to make an appointment in advance. Select the nearest hospital as needed, make an online or telephone appointment in advance, understand the medical treatment process in advance, familiarize yourself with the layout of the hospital’s departments, and seek medical treatment according to the time period. Leave as soon as possible after medical treatment is completed to reduce the time spent in the hospital.

Two is to wear a mask. Patients and accompanying personnel should wear disposable medical masks, medical surgical masks or masks of above protection level during the whole process of medical treatment. When the mask becomes wet or soiled, it should be replaced in time.

The third is to actively cooperate with relevant local prevention and control measures. Such as showing the health code, itinerary code, temperature measurement, etc. When arriving at the hospital, the patient and accompanying staff should prepare the health code and itinerary code in advance to reduce the waiting time. When the elderly seek medical treatment, if they do not have a smartphone, their accompanying family members can apply for a health code on their behalf.

Fourth, wash your hands frequently. Try to avoid touching surfaces such as doorknobs, registration machines, and cash machines during medical treatment. If you touch, wash your hands or rub your hands with quick-drying disinfectant in time, and avoid touching your mouth, eyes, and nose with uncleaned hands. Also pay attention to washing your hands when you get home.

The fifth is to cover the mouth and nose when coughing. When coughing, use a disposable tissue or cover your mouth and nose with your hand or elbow.

The sixth is to keep a distance. When waiting for a doctor and queuing, try to keep a distance of more than two meters from others; try to choose stairs to walk, if you take a car elevator, you should take it in a dispersed manner to avoid too many people on the same ladder. When entering the consultation room or treatment room, try to achieve one doctor and one patient, and try not to enter the accompanying staff.

Seventh, those with symptoms should take the initiative to seek medical treatment. If you have symptoms such as fever, dry cough, fatigue, sore throat, etc., please go to the nearest designated fever clinic in a timely and active manner. Wear medical surgical masks or masks of the above protective level in the whole process of medical treatment, and avoid taking public transportation.
