Coronavirus is a large family of viruses, and COVID-19 is pneumonia caused by a new type of coronavirus that has not been previously discovered in the human body. The COVID-19 can transmit from human to human, and it mainly transmits via respiratory droplets and contact, which have been already confirmed.

During the epidemic period, please try to reduce outdoor activities as much as possible and try to avoid going to crowded public areas. Please have proper personal protection such as wearing a facial mask while going out. Wash your hands frequently and open the window for ventilation at intervals. When in the workplace, please keep the air fresh and regularly disinfect public goods. It’s necessary to keep a certain distance from each other.

1. Make efforts to prevent respiratory infectious disease

Keep proper indoor ventilation, avoid poorly ventilated and crowded places; medical masks shall be worn when going out. Wash hands and nose when coming home. If fever and other respiratory symptoms, especially persistent fever occurs, go to hospitals as soon as possible.

2. Wear medical masks correctly

Wearing medical masks is an effective way of interrupting respiratory droplets transmission. Medical masks can prevent respiratory diseases properly. When wearing disposable medical masks, fully unfold folded surface, and cover mouth, nose, and lower jaw entirely, then compress nose clip, so masks and face are in full contact with each other.

Wash hands before wearing medical masks or avoid touching the inner side of masks while wearing masks to reduce masks pollution risk. Distinguish the inside and outside and up and down of masks, i.e., the light surface is the inside of masks, which closes to mouth and nose, and the dark surface is the outside of masks; the metal strip(nose clip) side is upside of masks.

Replace masks regularly, avoid wearing reversely, and even both sides.

3. Wash hands properly

Remember to wash hands before eating, after toilet, coming home, coming into contact with garbage and touching animals. When washing hands, use running water and soap(liquid soap), with no less than 15 seconds for rubbing hands.
