We should actively introduce relevant knowledge about "New Coronavirus Pneumonia", such as susceptible groups, transmission routes, prevention methods, etc., and inform elders Since the elderly have low immunity and many underlying diseases, they should pay more attention to prevention. Moreover, the current modes of transmission include contact transmission and droplet transmission, so the air outside is not absolutely safe. Wearing a mask is an effective prevention method proposed by Academician Zhong Nanshan. Real transmission cases can be used, such as "a man went out to buy groceries without wearing a mask and became infected after only 15 seconds of contact with an infected person." Official and authoritative figures, such as the number of confirmed cases, number of severely ill patients, and mortality rates reported on CCTV news, can also be used to warn family members and make them aware of the necessity of wearing masks.

You can also let parents watch cases where people are not allowed to buy groceries or take public transportation without wearing masks, or take parents to read the community's propaganda slogans. The notices posted at the entrance of supermarkets and the fact that men, women, old and young on the streets were all wearing masks made them aware of the changes in the surrounding environment and the seriousness of the epidemic, prompting them to wear masks.
