The new coronavirus pneumonia outbreak has touched the hearts of hundreds of millions of people, and many provinces across the country have adopted a Level 1 response program, with many close contacts around the country taking home isolation for medical observation. So how is the isolation room set up? How to disinfect the home? How to deal with household items? The details of this, and listen to the editor for you one by one. Room settings If you have more than one set of houses at home, it is best to live alone; if there is only one set of houses, then live in a separate room with independent sanitary facilities. If conditions do not allow, should maintain at least 1 meter distance from the patient, (for example, can sleep in separate beds). The room should be well ventilated. Activity areas should not overlap with other family members as much as possible, and areas that may overlap need to be well ventilated and disinfected. Air conditioning should not be used in the room, especially not central air conditioning that is shared with other rooms, and if heating is needed, a heater should be used. Wooden and metal furniture should be used in the room, and furniture that is not easily disinfected, such as cloth and leather, should be avoided. What you should do as a close contact 1. Consciously observe in isolation for 14 days and reduce your activities outside. Do not come into close contact with others unless necessary; 2. Take body temperature at least twice a day, and close contacts should closely observe themselves for acute respiratory symptoms or other related symptoms (e.g., fever, malaise, etc.) 3. Pay attention to cough etiquette and hand hygiene, use tissues to cover the mouth and nose, wash hands immediately with running water and hand sanitizer if they come into contact with respiratory secretions, and take hand disinfection measures. 4.If close contacts develop symptoms, please contact the home isolation medical observation manager. Close contacts should minimize contact with co-habitants and in principle should not go out. If it is necessary to go out, do so only with the approval of the medical observation manager, and wear a medical surgical mask or medical protective mask (N95) and avoid going to crowded places. Personal protection Caregivers should wear masks when they are in the same room with close contacts. The masks need to be tightly attached to the face and it is forbidden to touch or adjust them during the wearing process (explain what to wear and how to wear them). When the mask becomes wet or dirty due to secretions, it must be replaced immediately. After removing and discarding the mask, clean your hands (disposal of the mask). Preparation of supplies The room for home isolation medical observation should be equipped with: mercury thermometer, surgical mask, disinfectant paper towels, disinfectants such as rapid hand disinfectant and 84 disinfectant, and a trash can with a lid. Clean and disinfect 1. Air Keep the home ventilated, open windows and doors daily as much as possible, and use mechanical ventilation such as exhaust fans if natural ventilation is not possible. Do not use central air conditioning system. 2. Garbage Set up special garbage cans with plastic bags and lids. Used paper towels, masks, etc. are placed in special garbage cans and cleaned up daily. Before cleaning, the garbage is sprayed or poured with chlorine disinfectant solution containing 500mg/L to 1000mg/L of effective chlorine until it is completely wet, and then the plastic bags are tied tightly. 3. Floor Wet mopping with 250mg/L to 500mg/L chlorine disinfectant daily. 4. Daily fabrics such as towels, clothes, covers, etc., are disinfected by soaking in 250mg/L-500mg/L chlorine disinfectant for 1h, or by boiling for 15min. 5. Tableware Boil for 15min or soak in 250mg/L~500mg/L chlorine disinfectant for 30min and rinse with water. 6. Hands and skin, mucous membranes Hand disinfection can be done with an effective iodine content of 0.5% iodophor disinfectant, 70% to 75% ethanol hand disinfectant wipe hands for 1min to 3min to prevent cross infection caused by hands. When contaminants are visible to the naked eye, hands should be washed under running water with hand sanitizer and then disinfected. If the skin is contaminated with contaminants, remove the contaminants immediately, then wipe with disposable absorbent material with 0.5% iodophor disinfectant or chlorinated disinfectant and hydrogen peroxide disinfectant for more than 3 min, and wash with clean water; mucous membranes should be rinsed with plenty of saline or 0.05% iodophor. 7. Contaminants Mainly vomit, excrement and secretion directly contaminate the ground. A small amount of contaminants can be carefully removed with disposable absorbent materials (such as gauze, rags, etc.) with 5000mg/L to 10000mg/L chlorine disinfectant (or disinfectant wipes that can achieve a high level of disinfection). For large amounts of contaminants, disposable absorbent materials (dry towels) should be completely covered with a sufficient amount of 5000mg/L to 10000mg/L chlorine disinfectant poured over the absorbent material for more than 30min and carefully removed. Use 500mg/L~1000mg/L chlorine disinfectant to wipe (mop) the contaminated material and its surrounding area for 2 m. Wear gloves and a mask when handling contaminants, and shower and change clothes after handling. Whether you have symptoms of novel coronavirus infection or not, please consciously comply with the standard isolation and protection measures to be responsible for yourself, your family and the whole society.
