It’s about home quarantine! These four points must be achieved

During the epidemic, how to prevent the spread of the new coronavirus through aerosols while staying at home? According to the Henan Provincial Health Commission, the following four points can effectively prevent the spread of the virus through aerosols:

Open windows for ventilation

Ventilate your home at least once in the morning and afternoon every day, and each ventilation time should be no less than 30 minutes. Air circulation can effectively reduce the spread of aerosols in confined spaces. If you have an air conditioner at home, you can choose to turn on the fresh air mode, but be careful not to touch the filter.

Be careful with sewer pipes and flues

If the sewer is too dry or has no return bend, it loses its protection, and the aerosols in the public sewer pipes may enter the homes of the same unit upstairs and downstairs with the airflow. Ensure that water is stored in the return bend in time, and the water will seal the pipe and effectively prevent aerosols from entering. Remember to fill the sewer outlet at home with water more than twice a day, no less than 350 ml each time. Fill a plastic bag with water and tie it tightly, and place it on the floor drain to make the best sealing cover. When flushing the toilet, first cover the toilet lid to prevent aerosols from splashing out of the toilet. When cooking with the range hood on, be sure to open the window for ventilation to avoid flue airflow; if there is a check valve in the exhaust duct, the window does not need to be opened.

Keep your house clean

Wet clean your home at least once a day and disinfect when necessary. Use 75% alcohol or chlorine-containing disinfectant to wipe and disinfect key areas such as door handles, faucets, and toilet seats; key areas, especially bathrooms and kitchens, must be kept clean.

Develop good hygiene habits

During the epidemic, no matter what environment you are in, you must wash your hands frequently, wear masks, ventilate frequently, gather less, keep a safe distance, etc., and do a good job of self-protection. (Zang Xiaojing)
