What should I pay attention to when traveling to Southeast Asia during the Spring Festival?

As the Spring Festival holiday approaches, more and more families choose to travel to Southeast Asian countries such as Thailand. The inspection and quarantine department reminds passengers that while enjoying the beautiful scenery, they should also be alert to mosquitoes and epidemic prevention, pay attention to food hygiene, and avoid posing a threat to the health of themselves and their families.

Shenzhen Inspection and Quarantine Bureau reminds that you should be extra careful when traveling in the forest and pay attention to preventing tsutsugamushi disease. The disease is an acute infectious disease caused by rickettsia tsutsugamushi. Chigger mite larvae are vectors, and most patients have field work history, showing characteristic clinical manifestations, such as high fever, toxemia, rash, eschar and lymphadenopathy. According to statistics, from the end of 20 17 to 20 18 and 12 10, Thailand has reported nearly 2,200 cases of scrub typhus, including 2 deaths. If you have related symptoms, you should seek medical attention immediately.

During traveling, tourists should also try to avoid eating cold food, pay attention to food hygiene and prevent rotavirus infection. Rotavirus is a common virus that causes diarrhea. Patients often have symptoms such as nausea and vomiting after eating uncooked food.

Southeast Asia is the favorite place for mosquito-borne infectious diseases because of its special climate characteristics. The inspection and quarantine department reminded that when going to such countries, special attention should be paid to mosquito and insect prevention to avoid "returning with illness". Returned passengers who feel unwell should take the initiative to report to the port inspection and quarantine department in order to get the most timely help.
