Hengyang Centers for Disease Control and Prevention issues another important reminder for the National Day holiday

Currently, the COVID-19 epidemic continues to spread around the world, imported cases from abroad occur from time to time, and there are still medium and high-risk areas and local areas in the country cases. During the National Day holiday, people moved frequently, gathering activities increased, and the pressure of epidemic prevention and control increased. In order to conscientiously implement the strategy of "preventing external imports, preventing domestic rebound, and preventing multiple diseases", consolidate our city's hard-won epidemic prevention and control results, and let the people of the city spend a happy, healthy, safe, and peaceful National Day holiday , Hengyang Center for Disease Control and Prevention issued another warm reminder:

1. Strengthen personal protection. The public is requested to keep in mind that "everyone is the first person responsible for their own health", always tighten the string of epidemic prevention and control, strengthen personal protection, adhere to the "three-piece set" of wearing masks, maintaining social distance, and personal hygiene; strictly implement We must continue to wear protective masks, wash our hands frequently, maintain social distance, open windows as much as possible, and cover coughs and sneezes. When traveling, actively cooperate with the implementation of normal epidemic prevention and control measures such as measuring body temperature, checking health codes, itinerary cards, and vaccination information; when dining out, promote public chopsticks and spoons, separate meals, and promote a healthy lifestyle.

2. Advocate celebrating the festival on the spot. The public is requested to pay close attention to the dynamics of the domestic epidemic, especially the dynamic changes in medium- and high-risk areas and the travel trajectories of infected cases. It is advocated to celebrate the festival in place, reduce cross-city travel, do not leave the province unless necessary, and do not travel to medium- and high-risk areas unless necessary. If you must go out, please understand the destination’s COVID-19 prevention and control policies in advance, make a reasonable travel plan, wear a mask throughout the journey, wash your hands frequently, ventilate frequently, avoid gathering, and strengthen personal protection.

3. Reduce gathering activities. All kinds of gathering activities must strictly follow the principle of "whoever hosts and organizes, whoever is responsible", formulate epidemic prevention and control plans, and implement prevention and control measures such as temperature measurement and code verification, wearing masks, ventilation and disinfection. Tourist attractions and other densely populated places must improve emergency plans and implement prevention and control measures such as reservations, peak staggering, and flow restrictions to prevent large numbers of people from gathering. The scale of weddings and funerals should be controlled as much as possible to avoid large-scale gatherings of people.

4. Retain relevant information. In daily life or when traveling, non-cash payments are encouraged, and attention should be paid to retaining invoices or electronic information for travel, shopping, accommodation, meals, etc., to provide comprehensive and accurate information for epidemic response or foodborne disease traceability investigations.

5. Strengthen return management. After returning from an outing, you must monitor your personal health and pay close attention to the physical condition of yourself and your family. People returning from other cities are encouraged to take the initiative to take a nucleic acid test. If the health code or itinerary card is not a green code, if you have a history of traveling to a medium- to high-risk area in China, or if there is an intersection with the movement trajectory of infected cases, you must proactively report to your community or hotel where you are staying as soon as possible, and actively cooperate with the implementation of local prevention and control measures. If symptoms such as fever or dry cough occur, you should immediately go to the nearest fever clinic for treatment. Wear a mask during the entire journey and avoid taking public transportation.

6. Strengthen the prevention of common diseases. As the weather gets cooler, we will enter the period of high incidence of infectious diseases such as influenza, mumps, measles, chickenpox, other infectious diarrhea, and tuberculosis in autumn and winter, which may overlap with the COVID-19 epidemic. The public should be highly vigilant, add or remove clothing in a timely manner, frequently open windows for ventilation, eat reasonably, strengthen exercise, combine work and rest, and prevent common infectious diseases in autumn and winter. In particular, the elderly and patients with basic diseases such as hypertension and diabetes should receive influenza vaccines as early as possible to improve their immunity and truly achieve "early prevention, early detection, early diagnosis, and early treatment."

7. Prevent mosquito bites. During the National Day period, mosquito bites are common in autumn, and the public should pay attention to preventing insect-borne infectious diseases such as Japanese encephalitis and dengue fever. Try to wear light-colored long-sleeved clothes and trousers when outing or going out. Use mosquito repellent on exposed skin and clothes when traveling in the wild. Avoid staying in the shade of trees, grass, pavilions and other outdoor dark places during periods when mosquitoes are frequent. Prevent mosquito bites.

8. Take the initiative to get vaccinated. Vaccination against the new coronavirus is the most convenient and effective way to establish a herd immunity barrier. Vaccination can effectively reduce COVID-19 infection, reduce severe cases, and block the spread of COVID-19. During the National Day, all vaccination sites in our city operate normally.

Unvaccinated persons over 12 years old are requested to actively receive the new coronavirus vaccine, and those who need to receive the second and third shots are requested to complete the vaccination as soon as possible. In order to build a strong immunity barrier for the entire population and consolidate the city’s epidemic prevention and control results, everyone should do what they should Contribution!
