COVID-19 | How to prevent new coronary pneumonia?

Pneumonia prevention and control measures for new coronavirus infection: 1. Standard preventive measures; 2. Airborne prevention measures; 3. Preventive measures for contact and droplets:  wash your hands frequently and wear a mask when you go out. 4. Room ventilation; 5. Cleaning and disinfection:  The new coronavirus is sensitive to heat. Soaking in hot water at 56°C for 30 minutes, 75% alcohol, chlorine disinfectant, chloroform, and other lipid solvents can effectively inactivate the virus.

COVID-19 | How do office workers do personal prevention of new coronary pneumonia

During the prevention and control of the new crown pneumonia epidemic, how do office workers take personal protection? 1. Do personal protection on the way to and from get off work If you must take public transportation, you must wear a mask all the way and try to avoid touching the objects on the car with your hands. After taking off the mask when you go home from getting off work, first, wash your hands and disinfect. You can use disinfectant wipes or 75% alcohol to wipe your phone and keys; Keep ventilated, hygienic, and clean, and avoid gatherings of people. 2. Do well in office protection Before entering the office building, consciously accept body temperature testing. If the body temperature is normal, you can enter the building to work; if the body temperature exceeds 37.2℃, do not enter the building to work, go home in time for observation and rest, and go to the hospital if necessary; if possible, the unit must frequently use elevators Disinfect, especially the button area. 3.

COVID-19 | Epidemic characteristics of the new coronavirus

The epidemic characteristics of the new coronavirus include the following aspects: 1. The source of infection, mainly patients with new coronavirus infection and asymptomatic infection, is infectious during the incubation period, and the infection is relatively strong within five days after the onset. 2. The route of transmission. Spread through respiratory droplets and close contact are the main routes of transmission. Also, contact with virus-contaminated items can cause infection. When staying in a relatively closed environment for a long time and exposed to high concentrations of aerosols, there is also the possibility of aerosol transmission. Since the new coronavirus also exists in feces, urine, and another excrement, if these excrements pollute the environment, it will also cause contact transmission or aerosol transmission. 3. Susceptible population, the population is generally susceptible, after infection or vaccination, a certain degree of immunity can be obtained, but the cu

COVID-19 | What are the hazards of the new coronavirus?

The new coronavirus is the pathogen that caused the 2019 new coronavirus pneumonia. It will continue to spread in 2021. The new type of coronavirus pneumonia mainly affects the patient's respiratory tract and may cause serious damage to the patient's respiratory tract, leading to respiratory failure and death. The latest autopsy report found that the lungs of patients with new coronavirus pneumonia showed different degrees of consolidation, and the spleen was significantly reduced, which can also cause degeneration and necrosis of the heart and blood vessels. It can cause degeneration of liver cells, increase the size of the liver, and can also cause damage to the kidney parenchyma and interstitium, and even cause congestion and edema of the brain tissue. Critical cases cause multiple organ failure, leading to death.

COVID-19 | How harmful are the sequelae of new coronary pneumonia?

So far, the new crown virus has been out for a year, and it is still spreading. However, everyone's understanding of the new coronavirus remains at the transmission route, symptoms, and trend of the epidemic. Do a few people have a deep understanding of how harmful the sequelae of new coronary pneumonia is? Over the past year, everyone is full of fear whenever they hear the four words COVID-19. Because the new crown virus is very "cunning",it not only causes symptoms such as fever, fatigue, and cough but also lung damage, which is also the most deadly injury. Also, the sequelae of new coronary pneumonia are very harmful: 1. Lung injury As mentioned in previous news reports, after treatment for patients with new coronary pneumonia, the lungs of some patients with more severe conditions will also suffer varying degrees of damage, such as apical fibrosis. This is mainly a trace of excessive repair of the lung apex, and the patient's gas exchange capacity is also impaired

COVID-19 | How long is the incubation period of the new crown

  According to the current clinical observation results, the incubation period of the new coronavirus is 1 to 14 days, most of which are 3 to 7 days, and individual cases have been reported for 24 days because this virus is also highly infectious during the incubation period, so It is said that under normal circumstances it is necessary to isolate for more than 14 days, but whether there is the possibility of a longer incubation period, it still needs further observation.  Therefore, isolation is the best way.  Most patients do not get sick within 14 days of isolation.   There will be no disease.

COVID-19 | Symptoms of COVID-19

The symptoms of new coronavirus pneumonia mainly include fever, dry cough, and fatigue. Severely ill patients, often have a respiratory failure within 5 to 7 days. Patients with new coronavirus pneumonia may also experience other symptoms, such as a runny nose, sneezing, sore throat, cough, headache, muscle aches, and other related conditions. Some patients may also be accompanied by diarrhea and other gastrointestinal symptoms, and some patients may have the performance of conjunctivitis. The clinical manifestations of patients with novel coronavirus pneumonia vary greatly among individuals, and careful identification is needed. In particular, attention should be paid to whether patients have an epidemiological history related to novel coronavirus pneumonia.
