On the afternoon of April 19, the Information Office of the Municipal Government held a press conference on the prevention and control of the new crown pneumonia in Xi’an (the 73rd session) to report the latest situation of epidemic prevention and control.
According to reports, from 0:00 to 24:00 on April 18, there were 26,700 new cases of infection across the country. The domestic epidemic involved 23 provinces, showing multi-point distribution and multi-chain transmission. characteristics of transmission. As of 10:00 on April 19, there are 7 high-risk areas and 171 medium-risk areas in China. Our city is still facing the huge pressure of importing the epidemic to prevent the spread of the virus. We need the citizens and friends to work together to fight the epidemic. I hope everyone will continue to strictly protect themselves and keep the following “ten elements” in mind:
1. Don’t be paralyzed or careless. It is hoped that the general public will further increase their awareness of prevention, strictly abide by the epidemic prevention regulations, continue to do a good job in self-protection, strengthen health monitoring, and do not spread, believe, or spread rumors, and fully support the epidemic prevention and control work.
2. Wear a mask and stick to it. Especially when going to public places and confined spaces, be sure to wear masks correctly when taking public transportation.
3. Sneeze and talk about etiquette. Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue, handkerchief, or elbow when coughing or sneezing.
4. Wash hands frequently and be hygienic. Before eating and after using the toilet, after touching external objects, and before touching your mouth, eyes, and nose, be sure to follow the seven-step handwashing method to wash your hands carefully.
5. Often ventilation is essential. Open windows for ventilation at least 2-3 times a day, 20-30 minutes each time.
6. One meter distance, safer. Keeping a social distance of more than one meter can prevent virus infection to a certain extent.
7. Go out less and don’t gather. Gatherings and gatherings can easily lead to the spread of respiratory infectious diseases, so don’t go out as much as possible and don’t get together.
8. Vaccination is very important. Those who meet the requirements for vaccination should actively vaccinate against the new coronavirus and contribute to the construction of an immune barrier.
9. If you have symptoms, seek medical attention. If you have symptoms such as fever, cough, sneezing, runny nose, etc., you should seek medical treatment in a timely manner, and take the initiative to inform you of your travel history and contact history. Persons who purchase “four types of drugs” such as antipyretic, antitussive, anti-infective, and treatment of dry and sore throat in pharmacies or online must cooperate with registration, return visits, and nucleic acid testing.
10. Pay attention to express delivery. Wear masks and gloves when receiving express mail. Use disinfectant spray to disinfect the outer packaging of the received express mail or wipe it with disinfectant wipes, and remove one layer for disinfection. Wash your hands under running water or use hand sanitizer after handling express mail. Citizens and friends are advised to be cautious about mail ordering of goods from countries and regions with high epidemic incidence in the near future to strictly prevent the risk of epidemic importation.
All citizens and friends, these 4-day temporary control measures have brought some inconvenience and difficulties to everyone’s work and life. However, we all know the overall situation, give up our small family for everyone, and give up the present for the long-term. With silent support, we have fulfilled our due responsibilities for epidemic prevention and control; with strict self-discipline, we have demonstrated a high degree of responsibility for our family and society. Xi’an has made contributions to winning the battle of epidemic prevention and control. The trust, understanding, support and cooperation of all citizens and friends are the greatest source of strength for epidemic prevention and control, and they are condensed into an indestructible anti-epidemic force.
Epidemic prevention and control is the duty and responsibility of each of us. Let us join hands and work together to protect a safe and beautiful Xi’an!
