To strengthen protective measures, the public should be aware that the Spring Festival should be less stringent and try to stay at home. Despite staying at home, prevention of novel coronavirus should not be slackened! Today, we are sharing with you how to disinfect your home? What should we do if there are suspected symptoms in our family members? What can I do if I have suspected symptoms? What should you do if you have fever, cough, sore throat and other symptoms? Don’t worry, experts will give you three suggestions. The first point is that we suggest you to briefly assess your condition first If you belong to the following conditions, it is recommended to rest and observe at home first. 1. your body temperature does not exceed 38℃ and you do not have obvious symptoms such as shortness of breath or breathlessness; 2. you are under 60 years old or over 5 years old; 3. you are not pregnant, chronically ill or obese. During your stay at home, please drink plenty of water and you can take some cold medicine to reduce the symptoms.

If you also have the following conditions, it is recommended to go to the nearest hospital in time. 1.No improvement after 1-2 days of observation and rest at home; 2.Recent close contact with patients with fever and cough symptoms, or have been to crowded places such as farmers’ markets, or have a history of contact with wild animals; 3.Elderly people, pregnant women, obese people, and people with chronic lung disease, cardiovascular disease, liver, kidney and other underlying diseases and low immune function.
