March 18
Late in the evening, the reporter interviewed
Liu Lei, Secretary of the Party Committee of the Third People's Hospital of Shenzhen
The following are a few
Parents and children must do it!
Q: When parents take their children to do nucleic acid samples
What do I need to be aware of?
Liu Lei: First of all, we must watch and control the children. It is often possible to see children running around and touching the nucleic acid sampling point, and the isolation belt and isolation pile of the nucleic acid sampling point are not only not clean, but also may have bacteria and viruses, and even likely there is a new crown virus, which has the risk of infection. Therefore, when taking nucleic acid samples, parents must look at their children, do not let their children run around, touch around, and do not talk, fight, and play with other children to avoid cross infection.
Secondly, be sure to wear a mask for the child, adjust the metal strip of the mask to make it fit closely with the face, do not expose the child's nose to the outside, and do not remove it at will. When the mask is deformed, polluted, or wet, it should be replaced in time.
In addition, when medical staff sample children's nucleic acid, parents should hold the child, do not let the child touch the items on the operating table, and do not put the child's toys on the operating table. When the medical staff finishes sampling, quickly help the child wear a mask, do a good job of hand hygiene, leave the scene quickly, and do not stay.
Q: Today, there are 5 districts in Yantian District
Outdoor places such as parks and squares will resume opening
What do parents need to pay attention to when taking their children out?
Liu Lei: In extraordinary times, try to avoid taking children out to play. If parents want to take their children out, they should pay attention to wearing masks. Parents should plan their itinerary and try to choose a place with fewer people and good ventilation. Crowded places, do not take children with you.
When going out, parents should look at their children, it is best not to let the children touch the surface of public objects, if they are touched, they should use disinfectant as soon as possible to do hand hygiene in time.
Q: You mentioned it at the press conference yesterday
Do a good job of disinfecting children's toys
How should I disinfect it?
Liu Lei: The new crown virus can be killed by physical methods, when the temperature is 56 ° C and lasts for more than 30 minutes, it can effectively kill the new crown virus; it can also be inactivated by chemical methods, that is, 75% alcohol. Daily at home, parents can use boiling disinfection and wiping methods to disinfect their children's toys, two or three times a day.
In fact, toys in the home need to be disinfected daily, and it is even more necessary to increase the frequency during the epidemic.
Q: Some children are reluctant to wear masks
Can you support your parents?
Liu Lei: For this problem, parents should find a way. Children are reluctant to wear masks, mostly because they feel that it is difficult to breathe well when wearing a mask. At this time, parents should be considerate of their children's emotions, communicate with their children in time, and understand the reasons for not wearing masks. At the same time, it is necessary to choose the right size mask for the child, to popularize the harm of the virus and the importance of wearing a mask, and to strengthen communication with the child.
For the protection of young children, parents should help their children do a good job of hand hygiene in addition to personal hygiene. Parents should not cough or sneeze at their children. When parents have symptoms of upper respiratory tract infections, do not share dishes with their children. If parents have one of the ten symptoms of the new crown, or come back from the outside and do not know whether they are infected with the new crown virus, they should wear masks at home, do self-isolation and nucleic acid testing, and do not kiss their children to express their love. Parents should cultivate their children's good personal habits from an early age, so that children can wash their hands frequently, do not touch them, do not eat their hands, and rub their eyes less.
