Now that the Spring Festival has begun, everyone is eager to return to their hometown, but there are sporadic cases everywhere, how to do a good job in personal prevention and control on the way back home?
Teacher Ah Yuan summed up three points for everyone.
1. Before departure
According to the epidemic prevention requirements of the place of work and hometown, prepare nucleic acid test reports, and some areas require sampling time; some areas require 24 hours or 48 hours in advance to report to the community and village.
Meals need to be full, but light, and avoid taking off the mask for drinking water and eating during the journey.
Reduce drinking water, at least an hour before travel, to reduce movement during the journey (going to the toilet) and reduce the risk of exposure.
Leave hand sanitizer and some essential items (e.g., tissues, cell phones) outside, and pack the rest of the items (e.g., water cups) around the entire process without turning them over.
Empty yourself in the toilet before going out and travel lightly.
Second, on the go
Transportation, priority: self-driving> taxi (do not carpool) > plane> high-speed rail, bus, subway, etc.
Calculate the time on time (but it is not recommended to step on the point 100%, in case you miss it), reduce the stay time at the station and airport, and try to avoid smoking on the platform, all of which increase the chance of exposure.
If you are on an airplane or high-speed train, wear a mask throughout the whole process, avoid opening the breath, drinking water, etc.; avoid walking around the whole time, and avoid touching any part of any public transportation vehicle with your hands.
The aircraft can choose the position of the window to reduce the movement in the aircraft; if you are hungry, you can choose to eat with other people at the wrong peak, Zhu Tao, director of the Flight Standards Department of the Civil Aviation Administration, said at the press conference of the National Health and Health Commission on January 30, 2020, that usually the aircraft cabin is ventilated every 2 to 3 minutes, so when you eat at the wrong peak, when you take off the mask, it is a different air.
The high-speed rail/train can choose a position close to both ends of the carriage, the space is larger, the air flow rate of the vehicle air conditioning system is fast; the air outlet is the other end of the toilet, which is better located here. Train sleepers choose top bunks because the airflow is blowing from top to bottom.
During the trip, reduce playing with mobile phones, tablets, etc. to reduce the chance of droplet exposure.
Third, after arriving home
Take off the mask before entering the door, wash your hands, wash your hair, take a bath, change your clothes after entering the door, wipe your mobile phone with alcohol, especially friends who arrive home through public transportation, if there is no hand sanitizer when washing your hands, soap is actually OK. The correct steps to wash your hands: (1) wet your hands under running water; (2) Take an appropriate amount of hand sanitizer (soap) and apply it evenly to the entire palm, back of your hand, fingers, and finger seams; (3) Rub your hands carefully for at least 15 seconds, paying attention to washing all skin of your hands, including the backs of your fingers, fingertips, and finger seams.
