With the gradual warmer weather and the impact of the school season, the influenza virus and norovirus are rampant, many children are double-infected at one time, and children infected with both viruses can be seen everywhere in hospitals, and some parents have begun to panic.
Disease control experts said that the virus is not terrible, learning to prevent it, can reduce anxiety, parents do not need to be overly nervous.
First of all, it is necessary to understand the essence of the two viruses from the point of view of pathology and viral transmission:
The influenza virus is actually the influenza virus. From the classification point of view, it can be divided into three types: A, B and C, of which influenza A and influenza B can cause seasonal colds infected in humans. Influenza viruses have always been the ones that cause acute respiratory infections. The main season for this virus infection is winter and spring, and it is greatly affected by seasonality.
Norovirus is a virus that causes acute gastroenteritis. Unlike influenza viruses, norovirus is more likely to cluster outbreaks, especially in public places such as schools where children with little resistance gather, communities with more elderly people, and has no seasonal characteristics, and is a prevention period throughout the year.
In addition to this, the two viruses spread differently and the symptoms of infection differ.
Influenza viruses are transmitted through respiratory secretions, such as droplets, and are mainly transmitted by mucous membranes such as mouth, nose and eyes. After infection, some infected patients will have adverse symptoms such as nasal congestion, cough, headache, and high fever, and in severe cases, it may be accompanied by pneumonia, intravascular coagulation and other complications.
Norovirus is an infection caused by a person's previous contact with food, water, and other items and environments contaminated by pathogens. Symptoms of infection are more common in nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, etc., and may be accompanied by headache and dehydration symptoms in severe cases.
So, how to prevent double cross-infection of influenza virus and norovirus?
In fact, by understanding the transmission mechanism of the virus, we can prevent it from the source and transmission route. The following suggestions are given:
Prevention of influenza viruses
Strengthen personal hygiene, pay attention to go to crowded places as little as possible, go out to do a good job of protection, remember to wear masks, eliminate droplet infection, wash hands frequently, and avoid hand bacteria from contacting the mouth, nasal cavity, and eye mucosa, causing infection.
Prevention of norovirus
There are no specific drugs and vaccines for the prevention and treatment of norovirus, so we should pay more attention to personal hygiene, especially the safety of water sources and food, and do not drink raw water and undercooked raw food.
In addition, keeping the air clean indoors can also reduce infection in terms of transmission routes. Therefore, the selection of ultraviolet air disinfection machine is very important.
Different from the air purifier used as a small household appliance on the market, the air disinfection machine is a type of machine that must pass the national implementation standards to have medical qualifications.
It effectively inactivates all kinds of viruses and bacteria through the built-in sterilization and disinfection system. It is also compact and efficient, and can be applied to different public places, such as school classrooms, office buildings, hospital walkways, and so on.
Through the physical adsorption of the four-layer multi-effect filter, and ultraviolet sanitize, the internal structure of the virus is destroyed to work continuously, which is safer, simpler, more convenient and efficient.
To ensure the health of the broad masses of the people and the future generation of the motherland, and to reduce the infection rate of influenza virus and norovirus, it is necessary to continuously enhance the awareness of the prevention of infectious diseases, master the knowledge of prevention and control, and reduce the infection of viruses.
