Beijing, January 17 (China News Network) -- Beijing held a press conference on the prevention and control of the new crown pneumonia epidemic on the 17th. At the press conference, Pang Xinghuo, deputy director of the Beijing Municipal Center for Disease Control and Prevention and a member of the national new coronavirus pneumonia expert group, reminded that during the high incidence of the epidemic abroad, try to minimize the purchase of overseas goods, and if you receive overseas mail or items, you should wear masks and disposable gloves correctly to reduce direct contact and communication.

Pang Xinghuo 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.

Pang Xinghuo said that according to the traceability results, the risk points and their risk personnel controlled before January 11 will be lifted, and for citizens and friends who have intersected with the trajectory of confirmed cases reported by the city since January 11 to 14, please take the initiative to report to the community, units, hotels, etc. as soon as possible, and cooperate with various prevention and control measures such as centralized isolation, home isolation, health monitoring, and nucleic acid testing. At present, the city is still facing the double risk of epidemic importation at home and abroad, and the situation of prevention and control is complex and severe, please strengthen the awareness of prevention and control of all units and individuals, pay close attention to the progress of the epidemic at home and abroad, and effectively implement the responsibilities of the four parties, so that we can work together to build a solid security barrier in the capital.
