On the 19th, in response to the recent emergence of pneumonia caused by new coronavirus in Wuhan, Lei Chunliang, president of the Eighth People's Hospital of Guangzhou, introduced that after SARS in 2002, we have very rich experience in the prevention and control of infectious diseases The level of prevention is very high, and we have very complete measures in the face of major infectious diseases.
Lei Chunliang said that the prevention and control of infectious diseases must involve the whole society, and all citizens must cooperate with relevant state regulations. Specifically, the following aspects should be achieved:
1. Due to the particularity of infectious diseases, almost every patient's onset is characterized by fever, cough, etc. At this time, it is routinely thought to be a cold. Even if the film shows pneumonia, it will not necessarily be sent to the infectious department immediately. Department visits are likely to cause the spread of the virus, so this time we must increase the training of medical personnel, improve their early diagnosis and response to infectious diseases, and prevent the spread of the disease.
2. Increase health education for the common people
Coronaviruses are a large class of viruses that are known to cause disease. Patients exhibit different symptoms from common colds to severe lung infections, such as Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS). The new coronavirus (nCoV) is a new coronavirus that has not been previously discovered in humans. The new coronavirus in Wuhan this time is 2019-nCov. Common symptoms of human infection with the new coronavirus include respiratory symptoms, fever, cough, shortness of breath, and difficulty breathing. In more severe cases, infection can cause pneumonia, severe acute respiratory syndrome, kidney failure, and even death.
The 2019-nCoV in Wuhan, China, was confirmed to have limited successors. It is usually transmitted after close contact with infected patients, such as at home, workplace or medical center.
At present, many people do not have enough knowledge about the hazards of infectious diseases, or feel that they have nothing to do with me. In addition, the climate is relatively warm, and people are highly mobile during the Spring Festival transportation period. In this special period, it is easy to cause the spread of infectious diseases. Therefore, we must increase the education of the people through popular science and call on them to avoid going to places with epidemic conditions and crowded areas as much as possible, staying at home as much as possible, reducing the amount of going out, so as not to be infected, especially to avoid showing symptoms of respiratory diseases ( (Coughing and sneezing, for example). The elderly, children, pregnant women with relatively weak resistance, and people with basic diseases such as cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases should pay special attention.
3. Pay attention to personal hygiene and enhance individual resistance
To prevent the spread of respiratory diseases, pay special attention to hand and respiratory hygiene, especially during the Spring Festival, there are many parties, socializing, staying up late, overeating, smoking and drinking, which are easy to cause a decline in resistance. These are susceptible factors that are likely to cause respiratory tract Infection.
Currently, there is no specific treatment for diseases caused by new coronaviruses. However, many symptoms can be treated, so it can be treated according to the patient's clinical condition. In addition, supportive treatment for infected people is also very effective, so you do n’t have to worry about it at all .
