II. Health tips for key epidemic situation
Compared with last week, the number of reported cases of infectious diseases this week dropped by 2.1%. Among them, cases of Other Infectious Diarrhea increased by 13.2% from last week. The recent frequent rainfall, high temperature and humidity, have caused rapid reproduction of disease-causing microorganisms, increased opportunities for contamination in food processing, storage, transportation, and sales. Meanwhile, there have been a corresponding increase in the risk of intestinal infectious diseases. Intestinal infectious diseases are commonly known as "diarrhea". The main manifestations are diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, loss of appetite, etc. Severe cases may suffer from dehydration, and very few cases may even be in life-threatening danger. The key to preventing intestinal infectious diseases is to manage "hands" and "mouths". Citizens should pay attention to personal hygiene and family environment. It is necessary to keep drinking water hygiene and safety, avoid overeating, avoid eating spoiled food, and eating less raw and cold food. Before eating seafood, you should cook or steam it thoroughly, and the food should be processed separated from raw and cooked food. It is advised to reduce contact with patients with diarrhea. If you have diarrhea symptoms, you should seek medical treatment in a regular medical institution as soon as possible and do not prepare food for others.
