Now that the epidemic is still struggling, how is the current progress? When can this epidemic end?

Recently, Zhong Nanshan, the leader of the high-level expert group of the National Health Commission and the director of the National Respiratory System Disease Clinical Medical Research Center, responded that the current situation has changed, with foreign cases rising faster than domestic cases, while cases in China rapidly decreasing after reaching their peak.

On the basis of the traditional model, two additional influencing factors (strong national intervention and elimination of return peak after the Spring Festival) are added. It is expected that the peak will be near the end of February in mid February, and the epidemic will be basically controlled by the end of April.

With the stabilization of the epidemic, governments in various regions have begun to implement measures to resume work and production on a continuous basis.

We can take some breath of relief from the panic over the epidemic, but the revolution has not yet won and we still need to be vigilant.

For office workers returning to work, everyone is still worried, especially for friends with dense populations and complex situations of returning to work, there is even more resistance.

It's not that everyone is unwilling to work to earn money. Everyone is young people who are about to be overwhelmed by debt. Who can't get by with money?

But before the epidemic warning is completely eliminated, it is difficult to say who is favored by heaven and who is unlucky.

Panic is inevitable, and most of it actually stems from our own ignorance and lack of understanding of the external world.

If you have been paying close attention to the measures taken by various regions for rework recently, you will clearly see that the air defense capabilities of large and small cities can really be strong enough to penetrate every pore of communities and enterprises.

The government has its own control measures, enterprises have their own responsibilities, and of course, employees still have the burden of protecting themselves.

For employees who have recently resumed production and work, it is best to take the following precautions to effectively reduce the risk of infection:

1、 Wash your hands frequently every day to reduce bacteria

Wash hands promptly before and after meals, after going out, after touching other objects, after coughing or sneezing, after touching small animals, or after touching elevators, door handles, etc.

We can choose to use an alcohol free hand disinfectant to clean our hands, or rinse with soap for about 20 seconds.

2、 Timely disinfect commonly used items such as mobile phones and keys

Mobile phones and keychains can be wiped with alcohol cotton pads, but it is important to avoid excessive alcohol to avoid damaging the phone.

3、 Develop healthy eating habits and enhance one's own immunity

During the epidemic period, it is necessary to arrange a reasonable diet, eat regularly, exercise moderately, develop good daily habits, try not to smoke or drink alcohol, and pay attention to cooking meat and eggs before eating.

4、 When coughing, try to cover your mouth and nose with a tissue to reduce the spread of bacteria

When going out, you can carry disposable tissue with you. When coughing or sneezing, do not directly face the air. Try to cover your mouth and nose with tissue in an empty place, and throw the used tissue into the trash can in a timely manner.

5、 Go out less and stay at home as much as possible

If the number of times you go out shopping can be reduced, try to purchase all the items you need for a week at once. Only by reducing the chance of contact with the external environment can you reduce the infection rate of the virus.

In addition, purchase items as soon as possible without cash to avoid virus infection on paper money.

6、 Measure the temperature of the family every day at home and monitor their health status

If someone at home suddenly experiences symptoms such as persistent unexplained fever, cough, or nausea and vomiting, it is important to immediately go to the nearest hospital for treatment.

In addition, other family members who have come into contact should consciously isolate themselves, take their temperature regularly every day, and promptly go to the hospital in case of any abnormalities.

7、 Reasonably use masks and avoid waste

The usage of masks is relatively large, so we ordinary people must use masks reasonably to avoid waste and cause chaos to the country.

For example, in open and sparsely populated outdoor areas or when driving on your own, you may not need to wear a mask.

It is necessary to wear a mask when taking a bus or entering a crowded supermarket.

In addition, it is important to note that masks that have been used too many times should be promptly disposed of in a dedicated garbage bin.

In special times, the strategies for protective work are simple and easy to operate, and can even be said to be measures that can be done at will. However, two extreme gangs emerged during the epidemic.

A gang that is not overly nervous and desperate to buy medical protective masks; Either it is a gang that is too relaxed, does not wear masks, and does not cooperate with epidemic prevention work.

So, how terrifying is the epidemic? In the eyes of Doctor Xiaokang, the epidemic is not terrifying, what is terrifying is that people do not obey!
