Our news (reporter Wang Ji) - As the Spring Festival travel season begins, the prevention and control of H1N1 influenza faces challenges. Recently, Chief Epidemiologist of the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, Researcher Zeng Guang, stated that currently, the incidence rate of H1N1 influenza and severe cases in our country is still at a relatively high level, and the spread of the H1N1 virus has been ongoing. To prevent another outbreak of H1N1 during the Spring Festival, experts have provided the following preventive measures:
1. During the Spring Festival, try to minimize unnecessary outings and avoid group activities as much as possible. If you must go out, prepare in advance when using public transportation such as buses, trains, or planes. Wear masks, reduce close conversation time, minimize close contact opportunities, and be vigilant against droplet contamination.
2. When traveling with children, give them some child-specific traditional Chinese herbal decoctions or Chinese patent medicines for prevention in advance, such as the "Children's Qinggan No. 2 Formula" published by the state and the stockpile medication for H1N1, "Pediatric Lung Heat Cough and Panting Oral Liquid."
3. Pay attention to weather changes or significant temperature differences caused by inter-provincial travel. Adjust clothing as needed to prevent catching a cold.
