It has been prevalent recently, so be extra careful!

Recently, the high temperature and high humidity weather has continued, which makes it easy for bacteria to breed and multiply. In addition, it is the summer vacation, and the flow of people has increased, so the risk of local epidemics has increased.

In August, be especially careful of these 3 diseases ↓↓↓

COVID-19 expert reminder

The local epidemic in my country is spreading in multiple places and frequently occurring in many places, and the epidemic has rebounded in a few areas. The flow of people in the country has increased during the summer vacation, and the risk of imported cases from other provinces and local secondary outbreaks has increased. The local epidemic in Hong Kong has rebounded, and the risk of imported cases and secondary outbreaks in our province is very high. The local epidemic in Macau has been gradually controlled, and the risk of importing cases to our province has decreased.

In the future, we will continue to face pressure from overseas, other provinces, Hong Kong and Macao, as well as the rebound of local epidemics.

Disease Prevention Guide

Vaccination: It is recommended that eligible people get vaccinated with the COVID-19 vaccine as soon as possible if there are no contraindications. People aged 18 and above who have completed the full course of vaccination should get a booster shot as soon as possible at intervals of 6 months.

Take protection: Please try to avoid going to low, medium, and high-risk areas or areas where cases have been reported. On a daily basis, you should adhere to the "four-piece set" of epidemic prevention, including frequent hand washing, wearing masks, frequent ventilation, and one-meter distance.

Early screening: Conduct self-health monitoring every day. If you have fever, dry cough, fatigue, sore throat, decreased sense of smell (taste), diarrhea and other discomfort symptoms, go to the fever clinic of a nearby hospital as soon as possible, and inform the doctor of your travel history. Do not take medicine on your own; wear a mask throughout the journey to the hospital and avoid taking public transportation.

Special reminder

If there are people coming from or returning to epidemic risk areas, they should actively report to the community and cooperate with local epidemic management measures.

Dengue fever experts warn

Currently, the dengue fever epidemic in Southeast Asian countries is at a high level. Because my country continues to take strict closed-loop management measures after the entry of foreign personnel, the current risk of imported dengue fever from abroad is relatively low.

The centralized quarantine period for people entering my country has been shortened from 14 days to 7 days, and the risk of imported dengue fever outbreaks in August has increased.

Key prevention and control areas: Cities such as Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Foshan, Dongguan, etc. that have closed-loop management of more inbound personnel, as well as cities such as Shantou, Jiangmen, Yangjiang, Zhanjiang, Chaozhou, Jieyang, etc. where local clusters of dengue fever have occurred in recent years.

Disease prevention guidelines to eliminate mosquito breeding grounds:

Seal: Seal water tanks, water tanks and other water containers.

Fill: Fill in depressions, waste ponds, ditches, bamboo holes, and tree holes.

Dredging: dredge ditches, shore silt and weeds.

Drain: Drain all stagnant water that may breed mosquitoes, including water in flower pots and trays, water in idle containers, water in used tires, etc.

Cleaning: Remove small container garbage, garbage plastic film bags, used bottles, cans and other garbage containers.

Anti-mosquito and mosquito killing:

Isolation: Wear light-colored long-sleeved clothes and long pants when going out, install screen doors and windows and use mosquito nets at home.

Avoid: Avoid staying in dark outdoor places such as shade of trees, grass, pavilions, etc. when mosquitoes are frequently present.

Repellent: Apply mosquito repellent on exposed skin and clothing.

Killing: Use pesticides, mosquito coils, electric mosquito swatters, etc. to kill adult mosquitoes in a timely manner. You can also raise mosquito fish in water tanks.

Foodborne illness

Experts advise

August is hot and humid, which makes it easy for bacteria to grow and multiply. In addition, it is summer vacation, and people go out for dinner more often, so bacterial foodborne diseases are prevalent. The main form of occurrence is point source outbreaks at centralized catering locations, especially catering units in coastal tourist areas, which are more prone to Vibrio parahaemolyticus infection.

In areas affected by typhoon weather with abundant rainfall, high temperature and humidity, the growth and reproduction of poisonous mushrooms are accelerated, and the risk of poisoning caused by accidentally picking or eating poisonous mushrooms increases.

Disease Prevention Guide

Observe the key points of food safety: handle and store raw and cooked food separately; cook food thoroughly before eating; cook and eat the same meal as much as possible. If there is leftover food, put it in the refrigerator and heat it thoroughly before eating.

Do not pick and eat wild mushrooms casually: Do not pick and eat wild mushrooms casually or "based on experience".
