Original title: Shenzhen’s flu risk level is medium
The comprehensive disease risk forecast results in Shenzhen show that the influenza risk level in Shenzhen from February 7 to 20 is “medium”. We are currently at the height of the Spring Festival travel season and there are frequent crowd movements, increasing the risk of the spread of infectious diseases. A few days ago, Shenzhen Disease Control and Prevention reminded citizens to protect themselves from infectious diseases such as influenza, dengue fever and norovirus infection.
Experts believe that my country will continue to experience alternating or co-epidemic trends of various respiratory diseases in winter and spring, and that influenza viruses will still be dominant in the near term. The flu vaccine is an effective way to prevent the flu. Currently, Shenzhen social and health institutions and other institutions can still vaccinate. Citizens in need can make an appointment on the official account of “Shenzhen Health Commission” or “Shenzhen Disease Control and Prevention” before going for vaccination. Citizens should also wear masks scientifically and pay attention to hand hygiene.
Shenzhen Disease Control and Prevention reminds that in addition to respiratory diseases such as influenza, citizens should also protect themselves from dengue fever and norovirus infections. Dengue fever is a common infectious disease transmitted by mosquitoes in tropical and subtropical countries or regions. During the Spring Festival, many citizens travel to Southeast Asia, Africa, the Caribbean, Central and South America, Pacific Island countries and Australia, and find themselves at risk of contracting dengue fever. Use caution within 14 days of returning to the country. If you develop symptoms similar to dengue fever, immediately go to a regular medical institution and inform your travel history and mosquito bites.
The peak season for norovirus occurs from October to March of the following year. Citizens must wash their hands before eating, cooking and after using the bathroom. Ready-made fruits and vegetables should be washed before consumption and the food should be cooked completely. It is necessary to strengthen ventilation in the house and open more windows to maintain indoor air circulation. (Chief reporter Luo Liqiong, Shenzhen CDC correspondent)
