2. Health Tips

March marks the transition from winter to spring, when temperatures fluctuate significantly. With increased mobility as people return to work and school after the holidays, the risk of transmission of respiratory and intestinal infectious diseases remains relatively high. We therefore remind the public to take the following precautions: First, enhance personal protection awareness. When visiting crowded places or taking public transportation, it is recommended to wear a mask properly and maintain social distancing. Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue or your elbow when coughing or sneezing, and wash your hands frequently. Second, maintain a clean living environment. Ventilate rooms daily according to weather conditions to improve indoor air quality. Regularly clean and disinfect frequently touched surfaces in the home, such as floors, tables, and furniture, to keep the living environment tidy. Third, carry out self-health monitoring. Pay close attention to your own health and that of your family members. If symptoms such as fever, sore throat, cough, or diarrhea occur, stay at home to rest and monitor your condition. When seeking medical care, take personal protective measures and avoid going to work or school while ill. Fourth, strengthen prevention and control in key institutions. Kindergartens, schools, elderly care institutions, and social welfare institutions should carry out standardized health monitoring and protection guidance for staff and service recipients, and strictly implement measures such as morning and midday health checks, registration of illness-related absences, environmental cleaning and disinfection, and health education.
