If you are active at home, Jin Dongyan said, the ideal living environment is to have a separate room and bathroom. If there is no separate toilet, you can pour disinfectant immediately after the infected person uses it to avoid the spread of the virus. During the period of home isolation, keep the home ventilated; Put tables and stools in a relatively independent isolation room as the handover point of non-contact transfer items; Do a good job in environmental disinfection. North-south transparent rooms are ideal, and bathrooms are the focus of prevention and control. Because infected people usually take off their masks in the bathroom to carry out some cleaning activities and discharge viruses, it is best for infected people to disinfect after using the bathroom.
Personal preparation, fever for a short time after infection is the most common symptom. Therefore, he suggested storing antipyretics and other over-the-counter drugs so that people with mild or asymptomatic infections can recover on their own without going to the hospital. If citizens want to reserve medicines at home, they can prepare them according to medicines that relieve cold symptoms.
In view of COVID-19 infection, for most people, symptoms such as fever, sore throat and cough are the main symptoms. If there is no serious underlying disease, people can take some antipyretic drugs, such as Le Song, acetaminophen and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as ibuprofen. There are still a few patients who cough for a little longer, and you can also consider taking some antitussive drugs orally.
According to the observation guide of home isolation medicine, the daily life and diet of non-single residents should be limited to the isolation room as far as possible, and other personnel are not allowed to enter the isolation room. Wear a mask when leaving the isolation room, and keep a distance of 1 m or more when contacting other family members. If the home isolation medical observer is a nursing mother, she can continue to breastfeed her baby on the basis of personal protection. Wash or disinfect your hands when preparing food, defecating before and after meals, taking off masks, etc. Keep the house ventilated.
In addition, medical observers in home isolation should pay attention to the disinfection of the surfaces of personal use items and household items they have contacted. For example, the surface of door handles, switches, hot water bottles, toilets and other items. What may be used in daily contact should be wiped with chlorine-containing disinfectant containing 250 mg/L ~ 500 mg/L of available chlorine, and then rinsed with clean water, at least/kloc-0 times a day. Among family members, the risks faced by infected people are different, and not everyone is suitable for home isolation.
How to avoid being infected?
Concerns about aerosol spread in COVID-19 are also one of the important reasons why many people oppose the isolation of neighbors. In April, 20021,the World Health Organization made it clear that aerosol can carry COVID-19, suspend in the air, and flow with the air to a distance of one meter.
Generally speaking, the air outlet of the bathroom is independent, but the sewage pipes are connected together, which has the risk of vertical transmission. Therefore, residents should try their best to ensure that the bathroom floor drain is sealed.
If there are infected people in the building where you live, the elevators and stairs in the apartment are usually poorly ventilated. Wear a mask when taking the elevator or taking the stairs. The room should be ventilated frequently, and the air can be fully exchanged by opening it for a period of time every day. Try to avoid touching stair handrails, elevator buttons and the surface of public facilities in the community.
If the infected person lives opposite the door, pay attention to pushing and pulling gently when opening the door to avoid opening the door at the same time with the opposite room, which will lead to aerosol exchange. In addition, when you take the elevator or walk on the escalator, you must wear a mask, whether there are people or not. Always open the window for ventilation at home, and open it for a period of time every day to let the air exchange fully.
