Is it safe to travel during the epidemic?

Wu Zunyou, chief epidemiologist of China Center for Disease Control and Prevention, said: From the perspective of prevention and control of new coronary pneumonia, there should be no special restrictions and vigilance in traveling abroad on National Day. There is no COVID-19 in China, so there is no special epidemic risk warning during the trip.

In addition, Wu Zunyou also said that there are viruses in several areas of China:

(1) isolating patients or hospitalized patients;

(2) in the laboratory.

"So it is impossible to infect COVID-19 at the social level, whether going back to school or going back to work. Every day, a dozen or dozens of imported cases will be found among the passengers arriving in China by international airlines. Because the management of imported cases is a closed loop, it will not flow to the society and will not have much impact on domestic residents. " Wu Zunyou said.

How to prevent and control respiratory diseases in autumn and winter?

Autumn and winter are the high incidence seasons of other common respiratory diseases. If this high incidence and the COVID-19 epidemic are superimposed together, it will increase the difficulty of prevention and control.

In order to avoid overlapping epidemics, Wu Zunyou said, "From the prevention and control practice in the past eight months, we have the ability to find and control the epidemic in COVID-19 in time. Therefore, we must do a good job in the prevention and control of other respiratory infectious diseases. "

He mentioned, including the use of vaccines, such as influenza vaccination, pneumonia vaccine vaccination and prevention and control measures of respiratory infectious diseases, such as wearing masks, washing hands frequently, ventilation and keeping social distance. These measures are helpful to prevent and control other respiratory infectious diseases. As long as these measures are put in place and monitoring is strengthened, there should be no major problems.
