What to do if the trajectory coincides with that of a close contact?

What should I do if the trajectories of close contacts overlap?

Close contacts refer to people who have had close contact with people infected with the new coronavirus. The overlap of close contacts means that two or more close contacts appear at the same time and in the same place. How should we respond to this situation?

Step 1: Report in time

If you are a close contact and find that your trajectory overlaps with other close contacts, the first thing to do is to report in time. Reporting objects include the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, community health service centers, units, etc. Timely reporting can help relevant departments take quick measures to curb the spread of the epidemic.

Step 2: Self-isolate

If your trajectory overlaps with other close contacts, you may have been infected with the new coronavirus. At this time, you should immediately self-isolate and avoid contact with others. During self-isolation, pay attention to personal hygiene, wash hands frequently, wear masks, and maintain indoor ventilation. If symptoms such as fever and cough occur, you should seek medical treatment in time.

Step 3: Cooperate with the investigation

If your trajectory overlaps with other close contacts, you may become the focus of the epidemic investigation. In this case, you should actively cooperate with the investigation work of the relevant departments and provide true and detailed information. Your cooperation can help relevant departments better understand the spread of the epidemic and take more targeted measures.

The overlapping trajectories of close contacts is a common situation in the spread of epidemics. If you find that your trajectory overlaps with other close contacts, do not panic, report it promptly, self-isolate, and cooperate with the investigation. Only by working together can we effectively curb the spread of the epidemic.
