This newspaper, Beijing Electric (Shenqi), recently held a press conference with the National Center for Disease Control and Prevention. Xiong Huang, spokesperson for the bureau and first level inspector of the Comprehensive Department, introduced that currently, the risk of vector borne infectious diseases and natural source infectious diseases is at a high level, while the risk of clustered outbreaks of intestinal infectious diseases such as hand, foot, and mouth disease and norovirus infection is increasing. Other acute respiratory infectious diseases such as influenza are at a low level.
The upcoming National Day and Mid Autumn Festival are the peak periods for traveling. Xiong Huang reminds that before traveling during holidays, it is important to closely monitor the health information alerts issued by relevant departments, timely understand the epidemic situation in the destination, take corresponding precautions in advance, and arrange travel activities reasonably. During the journey, pay attention to food and water hygiene, avoid eating raw seafood, do not come into contact with or cook dead poultry and animals, and take mosquito prevention measures. After returning home, it is necessary to conduct health monitoring. If symptoms such as fever, cough, vomiting, rash, etc. occur, try to avoid participating in group activities as much as possible, seek medical attention in a timely manner, and proactively inform the doctor of the travel location and dietary situation. While taking care of patients, family members should also maintain a clean and disinfected home environment and protect their own health.
