2. Health Tips
As summer arrives and temperatures continue to rise, the risk of foodborne illnesses, vector-borne diseases, and intestinal infectious diseases increases. We would like to remind the citizens of the following: 1. Maintain good dietary habits. Drink boiled or bottled water and avoid spoiled or unsanitary food. Do not consume raw or undercooked meat or aquatic products. When preparing food, keep raw and cooked items separate to prevent cross-contamination. When dining out, choose licensed and reputable restaurants. Do not pick or eat wild mushrooms or wild plants. 2. Pay attention to personal health protection. Wash hands frequently and ventilate indoor spaces often. When coughing or sneezing, cover your mouth and nose with a tissue, towel, or your elbow. Avoid touching your eyes, nose, or mouth with unwashed hands. Children of appropriate age should receive all scheduled immunizations under the national immunization program. 3. Key institutions such as schools, childcare centers, and livestock and poultry processing facilities should strengthen health monitoring of personnel and environmental hygiene management. Anyone experiencing symptoms such as fever, cough, vomiting, or diarrhea should avoid group activities when possible, and consider resting at home, taking medication, or seeking medical attention as appropriate. Be proactive in informing doctors of any relevant epidemiological history. 4. Take precautions when traveling or spending time outdoors. Before your trip, check the infectious disease situation at your destination, especially the risk of mosquito-borne diseases. When participating in outdoor activities, take measures to prevent insect bites and ensure personal protection.
