Citizens should enhance their awareness of protection, reduce unnecessary outings, and do a good job in self-protection. The weather in winter is cold, activities at closed places increase, giving rise to the risk of respiratory infectious diseases. It is necessary to avoid going to crowded places. In public transportation vehicles, elevators, or at the hospital or other crowded and relatively closed places, it is necessary to wear masks, and maintain a safe social distance. Window ventilation is one of the important means to prevent respiratory infectious diseases. It is necessary to open the window for ventilation at the right time, open the doors and windows for convection, to ensure indoor air flow, even if the weather is cold. When there are people during quarantine at home, the door of the room where they are located should be closed. The window could be opened for ventilation separately. It is necessary to pay attention to adding clothes when opening the window for ventilation, especially if there are the elderly, children and other people with weak immunity at home.
