Can I still pay a New Year call next Spring Festival?

The Spring Festival in 2023 is coming, so will everyone resume visiting relatives and friends during the Spring Festival? The epidemic in COVID-19 this year has made the Spring Festival of the Year of the Rat particularly long and painful. Winter is coming, the epidemic is showing signs again, and the Spring Festival is coming. Do you still choose to visit relatives and friends and have dinner with each other during the Spring Festival? I believe this is a concern of many people. After all, the Spring Festival is a lively reunion festival.

Moreover, in the Spring Festival of 2020, due to the epidemic, every household can only be isolated at home and pay a New Year call through online video and telephone. There is no such traditional atmosphere! Therefore, we all have high expectations for the 202 1 Spring Festival. But because COVID-19 is very cunning, the outbreak of the epidemic is unknown.

Therefore, in theory, the government may introduce relevant policies to advocate minimizing visiting relatives for the New Year. This is not only a protection for all of us, but also a necessary measure to prevent the epidemic and the second large-scale rebound.

Current situation of domestic epidemic situation

Judging from the current situation, the epidemic situation in the Spring Festival of 20021year will certainly not be as serious as that in the Spring Festival of 2020. However, it has been almost a year since the outbreak of the COVID-19 epidemic in early 2020, but we still have not completely conquered the epidemic. Although the epidemic prevention measures in China are perfect at present, there are still small-scale sporadic cases in many areas of China. It can also be seen that COVID-19 is a difficult opponent to solve, and it is not easy to completely conquer the epidemic.

At the beginning of this year, when the epidemic raged, the country immediately and accurately responded and launched the horn of a major emergency response. At the same time, people everywhere are United as one and the whole country responds to the call of the country. All provinces canceled the activities of visiting relatives and friends, gathering and reunion during the Spring Festival. At the same time, stay at home quietly, strictly implement the epidemic prevention measures taught by the state, and finally win the first battle of the epidemic with difficulty.

At the same time, it also created a valuable opportunity for the epidemic to gradually weaken to a stable level. The actions of closing the city, wearing masks and not going out to gather are the embodiment of what the people have done. Even during the Spring Festival, people will visit relatives to pay New Year greetings. In this special period, people have changed the way of making phone calls, online videos and sending text messages. People can only do this, go out less, walk less, and not add chaos to the country's fight against the epidemic. In fact, these measures are correct. When countries like the United States, Brazil and India get out of control, only we in China are calm.

Fighting the epidemic is unique in the world, which is the embodiment of China's strength. The cumulative number of confirmed cases dropped from more than 95,000 to only 1.649 (an increase of 35 cases in a single day), and the number of cured cases reached 88,642 (an increase of 1.35 cases in a single day). However, it is still a very difficult problem to import confirmed cases and asymptomatic patients from abroad. Although many places in China have resumed work, there are still sporadic cases, from Beijing, Xinjiang and Qingdao to Chengdu, where the situation is tense now.

Therefore, in view of these situations, it is very necessary for us to have a good year in 20021,try our best to prevent the epidemic from rebounding during the Spring Festival, and strictly take measures to reduce visiting relatives and friends. Let me explain my point of view from several reasons.

0 1: During the Spring Festival, the temperature drops sharply in the cold winter, and the virus may be more contagious.

During the Spring Festival next year, it is exactly the cold winter season, and the temperature will be even lower during this period. There are many seasonal influenza viruses every winter, and so is COVID-19. In addition, some experts have studied the virus, and we know that the activity of the virus in winter is several times higher than that in hot summer, and the virus lives longer at low temperature. At the same time, the coming of winter is also a high-frequency period of respiratory diseases.

Rejman, a former American epidemic research expert, said in an interview: "COVID-19 prefers a dry, dark and cold environment, especially in the absence of strong light, which is most conducive to the spread of COVID-19." The Spring Festival is very similar to this situation, but in winter, in order to keep warm, most people close their doors. At the same time, in a closed indoor environment, the air is not very circulating. This probably contributed to the spread of the virus!

02: Considering the actual epidemic situation in your area, is it necessary to visit relatives?

Many people leave their homes and work hard for a whole year just to earn money at the end of the year. Friends and relatives have a happy reunion and feel the lively family atmosphere! At the same time, because the epidemic broke out for the first time, the previous Spring Festival was difficult, and many people hope to make up for the Spring Festival of 20021next year.

People want a big family to get together, watch the Spring Festival Gala, talk about family gossip, and talk about the good mood and bad mood this year. At the same time, we can have a reunion dinner and draw closer to each other. This is a natural emotional expression, which is understandable. But can this long-cherished wish come true? Be sure to consider the epidemic situation in your own area, and then make a decision and discuss it according to the situation.

If our own area belongs to a local area with high epidemic risk. Then it is very likely that visiting relatives and friends is forbidden during the Spring Festival, because we are considering from a long-term perspective. We really don't risk being infected by the virus, but go to visit relatives for a short time. After all, epidemic prevention and control is greater than everything else! We know that when visiting relatives and friends, people will gather. If this leads to a large-scale outbreak, the responsibility to be borne is enormous, and no one can easily bear it.

And if the situation at home is in an area with low epidemic risk. Then you can visit relatives and friends without too many restrictions. Because there is no source of infection in this case, people are relatively healthy and safe. However, we can't ignore Spring Festival travel rush at the end of the year.

Some time ago, Professor Ceng Guang, an epidemic prevention expert, emphasized the factors of Spring Festival travel rush fever when talking about the risk of epidemic spread during the Spring Festival. Professor Ceng Guang said: "The risk of epidemic spread during the Spring Festival is very high, which may be much higher than that during the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day. Not only because of the large scale of Spring Festival travel rush, but also because the peak period of Spring Festival travel rush is in winter, and the lower temperature is suitable for virus survival. " Professor Ceng Guang's point of view is very accurate, indeed in the crowded stage of Spring Festival travel rush, such as railway stations, airports, bus stations and other places with heavy traffic. Is likely to aggravate the spread of COVID-19.

The frequent migration of hundreds of millions of people at the peak of Spring Festival travel rush, in that kind of closed space, may indeed cause the rapid infection of the virus. Therefore, in order to reduce the risk of transmission, we need to take preventive measures. For example, wash your hands frequently, disinfect more, and remember to wear a mask when you go out for a ride. And when coughing or sneezing, be sure not to face the crowd. At the same time, it is necessary for the government to take a holiday in advance, implement high-speed free during the Spring Festival, and approve people to return home in batches. If economic conditions permit, pneumococcal vaccine and influenza vaccine can be inoculated.

Doing a series of epidemic prevention measures can not only reduce the risk of virus transmission, but also reassure yourself. In addition, China's COVID-19 vaccine may be widely available early next year. Only in this way can we ensure that we are not afraid of COVID-19 and win the war against the epidemic completely. However, under the current circumstances, we still need to be fully armed and meticulously take preventive measures to ensure our own safety.
