How to prevent the new coronavirus when driving back during the Spring Festival? You must pay attention to these points

This Spring Festival, the prevention and control of new coronavirus infection has become a top priority. Many people stay at home during the holidays and try not to go out. But life still has to go on. Except for a few places that have been extended with approval, the Spring Festival holiday in most areas is coming to an end, and the return flow of people from various places is gradually starting.

With an average daily passenger flow of tens of millions, how should we protect ourselves from the novel coronavirus infection, especially on the return journey? Some friends are very concerned about whether it is necessary to wear a mask while driving? How to adjust the air conditioner and other issues, and how to do daily preventive work in private cars? Today we will talk about these issues.

According to the China Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Interim Guidelines for Private Car Prevention, during the epidemic period, private cars should take the following measures when returning: try to stagger the return trip at peak times and plan the route in advance. If you encounter quarantine personnel, please take the initiative to cooperate with them.

Riders who choose to return by self-driving during the Spring Festival can use the navigation map to plan the route as soon as possible before traveling. They should arrange their itinerary reasonably and travel during off-peak hours to avoid unnecessary congestion caused by a concentrated return trip of vehicles. Check in advance whether the highway is open and you can avoid congested roads in advance. At the same time, it is worth noting that some expressway toll stations may choose to close during this special period, and you need to go around to other toll stations to get off the expressway, so riders returning by self-driving should pay special attention.

In addition, the editor also recommends that private riders try to travel at off-peak hours and achieve "three avoidances", that is, avoid peak hours, avoid popular routes, and avoid congested nodes. In addition, pay attention to safety inspection and maintenance of the vehicle before returning, and carry warning signs and other tools with the vehicle in case of emergency.

Recently, national highway epidemic prevention checkpoints will also conduct checks on all vehicles entering and exiting the vehicle, and conduct body temperature checks on all personnel. Therefore, when driving back on your way home, be careful to slow down when approaching the checkpoints. If you encounter When queuing, please observe driving order and actively cooperate with quarantine inspections.

While waiting for quarantine, all passengers in the vehicle must wear masks and do not get out of the vehicle and walk around at will. At the same time, good ventilation in the vehicle should be maintained to avoid virus infection due to crowds of people.

When driving and returning to the vehicle from the service area, in addition to wearing a mask at all times, you must wash your hands with disinfectant. If you cannot buy alcohol, you can also wipe it, or disinfecting paper towels will do. In addition to alcohol-based disinfectants, skin disinfectants such as iodophors and chlorine-containing disinfectants, as well as hydrogen peroxide disinfectants can be used. It is best to use medical alcohol to wipe the seats, steering wheel, windows, handlebars and other easily touched parts at the same time.

If there are relatives and friends riding in the vehicle, and the health status of the relatives and friends is unknown, both the driver and the passengers must wear surgical masks, and at the same time keep a distance from the passengers. The air conditioner cannot be turned on for internal circulation, and appropriate Open windows for ventilation.

After relatives and friends get off the car, the driver should quickly open the windows for ventilation and disinfect all items that the passengers have come into contact with, including door handles, steering wheels, windows, windshields, seats, etc. It is best to It is to thoroughly disinfect the vehicle.

Finally, the editor reminds everyone that you need to pay special attention to your diet during the long-distance return trip. You must ensure that you eat three meals a day regularly. You can prepare some clean, hygienic and convenient food and water in the car in advance to replenish it in time to ensure that you eat well. The food must be cooked, and work and rest times need to be arranged appropriately. Never drive for a long time. If it causes overexertion and lowers immunity, it is easy to become infected by the virus. Finally, I wish all riders a safe return trip!
