diffusion! 99 important information you should know about the new coronavirus pneumonia

1. Now that the epidemic has entered a relatively severe and complex period, epidemic prevention and control is at a critical period.

2. The epidemic will reach its peak in about 1 week or 10 days, and it will not increase on a large scale.

3. According to recent clinical data, the spread of the virus seems to have increased.

4. The source of the novel coronavirus infection has not yet been found.

5. The virus has not mutated yet.

6. The homology between the new coronavirus and SARS is 85%.

7. The new coronavirus is "cunning" than SARS. Because of this virus, we still don’t know exactly where it is. There may be many mild cases, similar to a common cold.

8. The incubation period is generally 3-7 days, the shortest is 1 day, and the longest does not exceed 14 days.

9, 10 to 14 days is a good isolation observation period.

10. Looking at it now, the super communicator has not yet appeared.

11. To deal with the epidemic, we must grasp two key points, one is early detection and the other is early isolation.

12. Since the suspected case has been reported and isolated, it is not terrible. The scary thing is that we don’t know about invisible infected people, so we must strictly prevent and control them.

13. The possibility of the epidemic sinking to young people cannot be ruled out, and prevention should still be based on it now.

14. Fever is still a typical symptom of new coronavirus infection.

15. The new coronavirus is infectious when there are no typical symptoms during the incubation period.

16. The crowd is generally susceptible. The elderly and those with underlying diseases are more ill after infection, and children and infants also have the disease.

17. The source of infection is mainly patients with pneumonia infected by the new coronavirus.

18. It is mainly spread by short-range droplets.

19. May spread through contact.

20. The main symptoms are fever, fatigue, and dry cough. A few are accompanied by nasal congestion, runny nose, diarrhea and other symptoms.

21. Some patients only manifested with low fever, mild fatigue, etc., without pneumonia, and recovered after 1 week.

22. Severe and critically ill patients may have moderate to low fever during the course of their illness, or even no obvious fever.

23. If it exceeds 37.3℃ in a calm state, it can be judged as fever.

24. If the body temperature is lower than 38℃, it is recommended to isolate at home and observe the changes of symptoms closely. You can take ibuprofen and other drugs according to the instructions.

25. If you feel serious, go to a community hospital first.

26. If the temperature exceeds 38℃, go to the fever clinic.

27. No obvious fever, but body swelling, abdominal pain and diarrhea, mild illness isolation, severe illness medical treatment.

28. If fever is accompanied by chest tightness and discomfort, you should maintain a high degree of vigilance and seek medical attention as soon as possible.

29. Have been in contact with suspicious patients, but have not experienced any discomfort so far. It is recommended to isolate and observe at home for 14 days, mainly to monitor changes in body temperature.

30. Close contacts live in a single room during home observation and refuse all visits.

36. Criteria for release of isolation and discharge: body temperature returned to normal for more than 3 days, respiratory symptoms improved significantly, and two consecutive respiratory pathogen nucleic acid tests were negative (the sampling interval was at least 1 day).

37. Patients with mild illness will hardly have sequelae after cure, and will not cause secondary transmission in the short term.

38. The prognosis of most patients is good, and the symptoms of children are relatively mild.

39. There are relatively few children in children, which may be because parents take better protection measures for children than adults. It is also related to children's lower immunity, which is prone to catch colds, formation of antibodies and cross-immunity.

40. Low susceptibility does not mean no infection. The currently confirmed patients include two-year-old children and even 9-month-old infants. The epidemic prevention work for infants and young children cannot be relaxed.

41. This epidemic is superimposed on the traditional flu season. Parents should rationally evaluate children's fever symptoms and avoid blindly sending to the doctor to cause cross-infection.

42. Children should pay attention to maintaining healthy and regular living habits during the holidays, and avoid overeating. Older children are not recommended to sleep late.

43. For children under 3 years old, it is not necessarily recommended to wear a mask. It is recommended to strengthen protection by reducing going out.

49. Although medical surgical masks are thin, they can effectively block the invasion of viruses.

50. It is good to choose medical surgical masks for daily protection. N95 masks have better disease prevention effects, but they have poor air permeability and are not suitable for long-term wear.

51. Whether the mask has a breathing valve or not does not affect the protection of the wearer.

52. Making masks at home is not very reliable.

53. If there is no fever or runny nose, sneezing, nasal congestion and other symptoms, the mask can be used repeatedly, but it is best not to exceed half a day.
