During the Spring Festival holiday, large-scale movement and gathering of people can easily accelerate the spread of respiratory diseases. According to the National Health Commission**, China will continue to show an alternate or common epidemic situation of a variety of respiratory diseases in February. In this case, it is very important to do everything possible to ensure that the masses have a healthy New Year.
This year's Spring Festival, the cross-regional flow of people across the country is expected to reach 9 billion, a record high. Visiting relatives and friends and having dinner together will undoubtedly increase the risk of respiratory infections, norovirus enteritis, and human infection with avian influenza. In addition, there is a wide range of continuous low temperature rain, snow and freezing weather in the central and eastern regions, with wide coverage and long duration, and the resulting respiratory diseases and the hidden dangers of fall and frostbite should also be prevented. ** Departments and the general public should pay attention to their own health and safety, do a good job in the prevention and control of infectious diseases, maintain a healthy lifestyle, and ensure a healthy and peaceful holiday.
To protect a healthy and peaceful Spring Festival, it is necessary for the first department to do a good job in monitoring and early warning and improve the ability of diagnosis and treatment. The National Health Commission has recently made special arrangements for the prevention and control work before and after the Spring Festival, requiring 120 first aid** to ensure 24-hour smooth operation and do a good job in emergency transport; Fever clinics and clinics in hospitals above the second level and primary medical and health institutions should be opened as much as possible to strengthen medical forces; Key departments such as emergency, pediatrics, and respiratory departments should clear green channels and arrange medical services during the festival. All localities should make strict arrangements, strengthen on-duty duty, maintain a state of preparedness, and coordinate and dispatch medical and health resources and professional forces to protect the health of the masses during the holidays.
To protect a healthy and peaceful Spring Festival, it is also necessary for the masses to raise their awareness of self-protection and maintain a healthy lifestyle. During the epidemic, everyone generally developed good habits such as frequent ventilation, frequent hand washing, wearing masks, and using chopsticks to eat. These are not only scientific methods to stop the spread of the virus, but also lifestyle habits that are beneficial to good health. Winter and spring are already the high incidence of respiratory infections, and these good personal hygiene habits need to be maintained. Once symptoms such as cough and fever appear, seek medical attention and cooperate in time. In addition, during the festival, you should also have a reasonable diet and regular work and rest to improve immunity and resist diseases. Doing a good job in disease protection and being the first person responsible for one's own health is not only to protect oneself from the risk of infection, but also to care for others.
During the holidays, no matter where we are, peace and health are the greatest happiness. I believe that as long as we work together and take practical actions, establish the concept of prevention first, independently and consciously improve health awareness, and weave a "health network" for the whole society, we can enjoy the happiness of family reunion and physical and mental health during the festival.
