一、Knowledge

(一) What is a new coronavirus?

Coronavirus isolated from the lower respiratory tract of patients with unexplained pneumonia in Wuhan is a new coronavirus named WHO-2019-nCoV.

(二) Who is susceptible to new coronaviruses?

Common infection in the crowd: New coronavirus-infected pneumonia can occur among both immunocompromised and normal immunocompetent people, and is related to the amount of virus exposure. For people with poor immune function, such as the elderly, pregnant women, or liver and kidney dysfunction, there are chronic patient groups, and the disease is more serious after infection.

(三) What are the routes of transmission of the new coronavirus?

The main modes of transmission are via droplet transmission, contact transmission (including self-vaccination caused by hand contamination) and close-range transmission of respiratory aerosols of different sizes. At present, close-range droplet transmission should be the main route.

(四) Will the new coronavirus be passed on from person to person?

New coronaviruses can be passed from person to person. Judging from the order of incidence of some clustered cases, the characteristics of person-to-person transmission are very obvious, and there is a certain range of community transmission.

(五) What is droplet transmission?

Droplets: It is generally believed that water-containing particles with a diameter> 5um, drops can enter the susceptible mucosal surface through a certain distance (generally 1 meter).

The generation of droplets:

(1) Cough, sneeze or talk;

(2) Carry out invasive operations of the respiratory tract, such as sputum suction or endotracheal intubation, turning over, patting the back, etc. during coughing and cardiopulmonary resuscitation.

(六) What is contact transmission?

Direct contact: Pathogens spread through direct contact with mucous membranes or skin.

1. Blood or bloody body fluids enter the human body through mucous membranes or damaged skin;

2. Direct contact with secretions containing certain pathogens causes transmission.

(七) What are close contacts?

Refers to people who have lived or worked with a confirmed or highly suspected case of the virus within 14 days.

Including colleagues in the office, colleagues in the same dormitory, the same transportation, etc. As well as other forms of direct contact, including the accompany of virus-infected patients, taking a taxi, and taking an elevator.

(八) Notes for close contacts

All people who may be in contact with suspected infected patients (including medical personnel) should have a 14-day health observation period. The observation period starts from the last day of contact with the patient. Seek medical attention as soon as any symptoms appear, especially fever, respiratory symptoms such as cough, shortness of breath, or diarrhea!

(九) What are the clinical manifestations of patients with pneumonia infected by new coronavirus?

The onset of pneumonia caused by the new coronavirus is mainly manifested by fever. It may be combined with mild dry cough, fatigue, poor breathing, diarrhea and other symptoms. Runny nose, sputum and other symptoms are rare. Some patients have mild onset symptoms, but no fever, only manifested as headache, palpitation, chest tightness, conjunctivitis, mild muscle pain in the limbs or lower back. Some patients developed dyspnea after one week, and in severe cases the disease progressed rapidly. Most patients have a good prognosis, and a few patients are critically ill or even die.

(十) The main prevention and control measures of pneumonia caused by new coronavirus

Precautions for contact and spray: wash hands frequently and wear masks when going out;

Room ventilation;

Cleaning and disinfection: The new coronavirus is sensitive to heat. Soaking in 56 ° C hot water for 30 minutes, 75% alcohol, chlorine-containing disinfectant, chloroform and other lipid solvents can effectively inactivate the virus.

二、Life

(5) Minimize activities in crowded places and avoid contact with patients with respiratory infections.

(6) If symptoms of respiratory tract infections such as cough, runny nose, fever, etc., you should rest in isolation at home, seek medical treatment as soon as the fever persists or the symptoms worsen.

2、The role of hand washing in preventing respiratory tract diseases

Hand washing is one of the most effective measures to prevent diarrhea and respiratory tract infections. Authorities such as the National Center for Disease Control and Prevention, WHO and the US CDC recommend that soap and water (running water) be used to wash hands.

3、Proper hand washing requires mastering six steps of hand washing:

三、Medical treatment

(一)When to seek medical treatment

The main clinical manifestations of patients with pneumonia infected by new coronavirus are fever and fatigue. The respiratory symptoms are dry cough and gradually have difficulty in breathing. The severe cases are acute respiratory distress syndrome, septic shock, metabolic acidosis and coagulation that are difficult to correct disfunction. Some patients have mild onset symptoms but no fever. Most patients are moderate to mild, with a good prognosis, and a few patients are critically ill or even die. If you have fever, fatigue, or dry cough, it does not mean that you have been infected. However, if (1) fever (armpit temperature ≥ 37.3 ° C), cough, shortness of breath, etc., acute respiratory infection symptoms; (2) and have travel or residence history in Wuhan, or have been exposed to a fever partner from Wuhan within 14 days before onset Patients with respiratory symptoms may have a small-scale clustering disease; they should go to a local designated medical institution for investigation, diagnosis and treatment.

(二)Precautions during medical treatment

1. If the contact person has symptoms, choose a designated hospital with a hot clinic in advance.

2. You should wear a mask on the way to the hospital and throughout the medical treatment.

3. Avoid taking public transportation, call an ambulance or use a private vehicle to transport the patient, and if possible, open the window on the road.

4. Sick close contacts should always maintain respiratory hygiene and clean hands. When standing or sitting on the road and the hospital, stay away from other people as much as possible (at least 1 meter).

5. Any surface contaminated by respiratory secretions or body fluids should be cleaned and disinfected with a disinfectant containing diluted bleach.

6. When you go to the doctor, you should tell the truth about the illness and the process, especially the doctor ’s recent travel and living history in Wuhan, the contact history of pneumonia patients or suspected patients, and animal contact history.
