On January 17, the 267th press conference on the prevention and control of the new crown pneumonia epidemic in Beijing was held. Beijing Youth Daily reporter learned at the meeting that Pang Xinghuo, deputy director of the Beijing Municipal Center for Disease Control and Prevention, said that in the past, many provinces (cities) in China have also reported cases of transmission through cold chain or non-cold chain items, and recently many places in China have also reported positive overseas mail and other items. The coronavirus can survive in low temperatures for a long time, and the risk of material transmission in winter increases. At present, the new crown pneumonia epidemic caused by the global Aomi Kerong variant strain is high, and the general public is reminded of the general public:

First, during the high incidence of the epidemic in foreign countries, minimize the purchase of overseas goods. Second, if you receive mail or items from abroad, you should wear masks and disposable gloves correctly to reduce direct contact and communication. The third is to pick up the package at a fixed location as much as possible to achieve contactless handover; if you need to sign in person, please keep a safe distance from the courier. Fourth, when disassembling parts, try to carry out outdoors, the outer packaging should not be taken home, and should be sorted according to the classification of domestic garbage; if it needs to be taken home, the internal and external packaging can be fully disinfected with chlorine disinfectant or 75% alcohol. Fifth, after handling the mail, take off the gloves in time, carefully disinfect or wash the hands, replace the mask, and avoid touching the mouth, eyes, and nose with unclean hands.
