The Lunar New Year is approaching, and the Spring Festival travel in the mainland is in full swing. Although statistics from many cities show that most people have been infected with the new crown, there are still some people who are “Weiyang people”. The Health Times, a subsidiary of the official media People’s Daily, quoted Fang Houmin, the director of the Outpatient Department of Gaoxin Hospital, the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanchang University, as suggesting that people who have not been infected with the new crown should avoid “long-distance travel” during the Spring Festival travel season to reduce the risk of infection for themselves and their families. .
Fang Houmin pointed out that there may be several reasons for “no positive test so far”, such as adequate protection at ordinary times, special constitution, etc. It is true that he has never been infected, but it may also be an “asymptomatic infected person”. Or if you have been infected with the new crown before the current wave of the epidemic, you still have antibodies in your body and have a certain degree of immunity. Fang Houmin believes that people who have not passed the test at all may increase their chances of infection if they travel during the Spring Festival, so they are not advised to travel long distances, especially the elderly, pregnant women and children with underlying diseases should reduce travel.
On the other hand, the Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism of the State Council held a press conference yesterday, saying that as the epidemic prevention and control enters a new stage, the country is orderly launching “classified and dynamic services” for key groups such as the elderly, children, pregnant women, and patients with chronic underlying diseases. The work of “moving the gate forward” emphasizes the need to achieve “early detection of infection and early medication” for key groups, and do a good job of regular contact and daily health monitoring; “Early intervention and early concentration” of the population, strengthening the deployment of emergency forces, prioritizing medical treatment for high-risk patients, improving hospital admissions, and ensuring the needs of patients in hospital and the treatment of critically ill patients.
After Yangkang, “confinement” tonic?Physician: Don’t act too hastily
For some netizens who believe that following “Yangkang”, they should continue to take medicine to consolidate the curative effect, and they should even “confine in confinement” for 30 days. Zhao Yangyu, director of obstetrics and gynecology at Peking University Third Hospital, believes that the treatment of new crown drugs is mainly symptomatic. If the symptoms disappear, The drug should be stopped in time, otherwise there may be side effects. Yu Kang, director of the clinical nutrition department of Peking Union Medical College Hospital, said that if the “confinement” following “Yangkang” means “tonic” during this period, “it’s not impossible, but don’t act too hastily”, because following recovery from the new crown, many organs such as digestion It still takes some time to recover, too hasty, too much, too fast tonic, or overeating, may be counterproductive.
