“If I’m not vigilant, I can’t imagine what will happen next.” On WeChat, Lucheng confirmed case 1 told Jiang Xiangao. Combined with the situation of the 4 patients recently confirmed in the city, Jiang Xiangao, deputy head of the Wenzhou New Coronary Pneumonia Medical Treatment Expert Group, deputy director of the Central Hospital, and leader of the infectious disease department, issued an important reminder to the general public yesterday: after infection with Omicron Most of the symptoms are atypical, and some are asymptomatic, but the virus is highly contagious. Wearing a mask to seek medical attention and nucleic acid testing in time can be detected early and effectively protect family members.
Jiang Xiangao told reporters that it was not typical for Case 1 of the Lucheng epidemic in Wenzhou to show symptoms. The fever is about 37 degrees 5, and there is an occasional cough and a little fatigue. In her own words: “It’s similar to the usual common cold, and even the symptoms are milder.” However, when the symptoms of this case appeared, it happened just after the Cangnan epidemic. At that time, it was reported that express delivery was spreading the epidemic. She thought that she had also opened the package and immediately became vigilant.
On March 8, the case felt unwell. She did not go home for dinner that night, but ate at her own store. Wear a mask at all times except when eating. Husbands and children eat at their elders’ homes. When she got home at 8 or 9 pm, she did not take off her mask when she went to bed, and kept a proper distance from her husband and children. The next day, she developed a low-grade fever again and sought medical attention immediately.
“Wear a mask and seek medical attention in time. It is because of these two actions that the family members of the case were not infected in the end.” Jiang Xiangao said that in epidemic prevention, people’s own awareness of protection is very important. It can be said that every A person’s awareness determines how widely the virus can spread.
Similarly, Cangnan Epidemic Case 2, in the few days before the diagnosis, felt unwell and developed a cough, so she strictly wore a mask for the first time, and when she was eating at work, she did not eat with her colleagues. Order takeout yourself.
“It is these details that enable these outbreaks to be discovered at the first time, and lay the foundation for the follow-up to resolutely win the war against the epidemic.” Jiang Xiangao said.
Have risk factors and 10 symptoms
Seek medical attention immediately
From how many In this case, early detection is the key to protecting yourself and others. How to do early detection? Experts believe that citizens and friends should be vigilant. If they feel unwell, they should first consider whether they have been exposed to any risk factors recently. If they have “ten symptoms”, they should immediately seek medical testing under the premise of personal protection.
From a clinical point of view, the most common symptoms caused by Omicron strains are: fever, dry cough, and fatigue; followed by nasal congestion, runny nose, sore throat; and smell and taste Decreased, diarrhea, muscle aches, conjunctivitis.
What are the risk factors? Including close contact with confirmed patients, gathering in a confined space, or receiving express delivery from overseas or domestic medium and high-risk areas, etc.
Judging from the current situation, the incubation period is generally 3-5 days after infection with Omicron, which is highly concealed, and most patients have atypical symptoms. However, if everyone ignores the lack of timely detection and detection, it will bring serious consequences. Generally, the number of people infected in 2 or 3 days will increase exponentially, and the first to be infected are family members, relatives and friends who are in close contact with them.
Experts appeal to protect family members and children from raising health awareness. Once you feel unwell, under the current special circumstances, it is your responsibility to yourself and your family to seek medical treatment for nucleic acid testing as soon as possible.
Vaccination can effectively prevent severe disease
Don’t hesitate to get the booster shot
Wenzhou recently diagnosed Of the 4 patients, none were critically ill or critically ill. Jiang Xiangao believes that this has a lot to do with the new crown vaccination. “Among the 4 people, one has been vaccinated three times, and the rest have received two doses.”
Although the vaccine has not yet achieved 100% protection from the new coronavirus infection, it is very important for the severe and critical cases after infection. The prevention of severe disease is very precise and effective. Therefore, experts appeal to citizens who have been vaccinated for two doses for 6 months, do not hesitate any longer, and hurry up to get the booster shot (the third shot). Especially for the elderly, once the infection causes a very high probability of serious illness, vaccination and booster shots are even more necessary.
In addition, in terms of personal protection, experts suggest that you should always pay attention to the dynamic changes of the epidemic, do not go to medium and high-risk areas unless it is necessary, do not receive express delivery from medium and high-risk areas, wear masks, do not gather, and keep 1 m social distancing. The most important thing is, do not self-medicate if you feel unwell, and seek medical attention immediately after taking precautions.
