The new crown virus is spreading around the world, and the new coronavirus mutant strains such as Delta and Ramda threaten human health. At present, the situation of epidemic prevention and control is still grim, and various scenic spots, shopping malls and buildings in Shanghai have also continuously upgraded prevention and control measures to weave a "safety net" for epidemic prevention and control.
In the face of the epidemic, everyone is a line of defense, and it is inseparable from the initiative, self-discipline and vigilance of every citizen. Experts from the Shanghai Municipal Center for Disease Control and Prevention have repeatedly called for protection, non-essential non-going out, and not going to medium- and high-risk areas in China.
At present, it is the summer vacation, and epidemic prevention can also become a different kind of summer homework, which is completed by parents and children together: parents may wish to combine different life scenarios, let children master the correct protection knowledge through learning and practice, and "freeze" the epidemic prevention norms as daily behavior habits.
Wear a mask for no more than four hours, and don't be lazy to change it at the right time
In order to enrich the children's holiday life, this summer, the city's education, cultural tourism, publicity and other departments have joined hands to open up many good places at the doorstep.
"If parents want to take their children out to play and let their children decompress and relax, they must remember to do a good job of protection." Zhang Yuanyuan, deputy chief physician of the Department of Child Health Care of Shanghai Children's Hospital, suggested that parents may wish to teach their children to wear masks during this time when parents are getting along.
Of course, the first is that parents should grasp the main points of wearing masks correctly, choose special masks for children suitable for ages, pay attention to the front and back of masks, do not wear reverses, and let the child's mouth and nose be covered.
Be vigilant that if the mask is worn for more than 4 hours, it will become a bacterial "Petri dish", or cause skin inflammation, allergies, folliculitis, etc. In the summer heat, the mask is easily wet with sweat, so the protective effect will be greatly reduced.
Zhang Yuanyuan reminded that parents and children should bring spare masks when going out, and replace masks in a timely manner, and do not be lazy. "Discarded masks should be disposed of separately. Used paper towels, wipes, masks, etc. should be concentrated into special garbage cans, sprayed with disinfectant until wet, collected uniformly, and distributed according to garbage classification."
If the weather is too hot and children can't wear masks outdoors, it is recommended not to travel, and it is advisable to stay at home.
Go to well-ventilated outdoor activities and manage your child's little hands
Traveling with children, the choice of places to play is also exquisite.
During the epidemic prevention and control period, it is best for parents not to take young children to attractions and closed places where people gather, such as indoor playgrounds, shopping malls, restaurants, etc. The well-ventilated outdoors are best suited for children, either in suburban or city parks. Before going out, parents can first inquire about the flow restriction and reservation information of the scenic spot, and do a good job.
When outside, parents should also pay special attention to one point: take good care of their children's hands. Be clear and tell your child not to rub your eyes, nose, or even eat your fingers with dirty hands. Parents can carry hand sanitizer with them and disinfect them in a timely manner after their children touch outside objects.
At home, parents may wish to take their children to learn the "seven-step handwashing method", wash their hands with running water and soap, and do a good job of hand hygiene. Good hygiene practices can not only help children become more health conscious, but they will also benefit them for life.
Try to stagger the peak and pay attention to keeping distance from passengers
At present, the situation of epidemic prevention and control is still grim, and Wu Huanyu, deputy director of the Shanghai Municipal Center for Disease Control and Prevention, once again appealed that it is not necessary not to go out, and please do not go to high-risk areas in the domestic epidemic. When taking public transportation, you must also cooperate with the staff to do a good job in epidemic prevention.
Considering the density of public transportation personnel and relatively closed, parents with children to do a good job of protection, try to minimize the touch of the items in the carriage, it is best to use non-contact ticket purchase, "sweep" is healthier.
"When taking the bus, you can open the window appropriately to maintain the air circulation in the carriage; when taking the subway, try to keep a certain distance from the surrounding passengers when conditions permit." Wu Huanyu said.
Travel at the wrong peak by public transport, drive a private car if possible, and choose to walk or ride if you are close to your destination. Private cars generally do not need to be disinfected, strengthen the ventilation of the vehicle, if necessary, the steering wheel, door handles, etc. can be wiped and disinfected with disinfectant wipes.
Wu Huanyu reminded that if you have symptoms such as fever and cough, please do not take public transportation and take precautions to go to the nearest fever clinic as much as possible.
Use a good spoon and chopsticks to shorten the dining time as much as possible
During the epidemic prevention and control period, when parents take their children out to eat, they should choose a restaurant with good sanitary conditions and choose a well-ventilated location near doors and windows. It is best to take spaced seats or eat on the same side to avoid large gatherings of people to eat.
"Many children can't resist while waiting for a meal, and they take off their masks and run around." Zhang Yuanyuan reminded that parents should try to comfort their children, wear masks when waiting for meals, and avoid frequent contact with public objects with their hands. In addition, when eating, do a good job of hand hygiene, use chopsticks, spoons, and try to shorten the dining time; you should leave the restaurant immediately after the meal. When ordering food, parents should choose cooked foods and avoid eating raw foods.
In addition to the new crown virus, summer is the relatively active season for enteroviruses, adenoviruses, salmonella and so on.
Zeng Mei, director of the Department of Infectious Diseases of the Children's Hospital affiliated to Fudan University, reminded that parents should pay attention to hygiene when eating outside with their children, and food on high temperature days is easy to be infected by Salmonella, resulting in the occurrence of infectious diarrhea. "Enteroviruses are mainly transmitted through the feces and mouth, and objects and surfaces in public places are easily infected by enteroviruses, so hand hygiene should be done at all times." Saliva may also contain enteroviruses, and parents and children should never share food. ”
