Do people returning from abroad need to be quarantined? Generally, isolated observation is needed.
Recently, there have been many cases of COVID-19 infection in many countries and regions, and the number is still rising. In view of the present situation of overseas epidemic prevention and control, combined with the domestic reality, the municipal leading group for prevention and control work and relevant departments made a comprehensive judgment, and further clarified the measures for prevention and control of foreign-related epidemic situation and health management of entry personnel.
All Chinese and foreign personnel who have lived in key countries or regions before the entry date 14 days are subject to home health observation or centralized isolation, that is, isolation 14 days.
We emphasize once again that all immigrants are treated equally, and the entrance, landing and place are strictly controlled. Thank you again for your active support and sincere understanding from all walks of life at home and abroad.
How to isolate people who come back from abroad generally requires home isolation 14 days. At present, there are specific regulations for people returning from abroad in various places. Today, I mainly introduce several popular provinces and cities:
Guangdong Province According to the Guangdong Provincial Health and Wellness Commission, in view of the spread of the COVID-19 epidemic abroad, Guangdong is strengthening the entry health management in an all-round way. All personnel who have come from or been to areas with severe epidemic in departure countries are required to undergo home or centralized medical observation after entering Guangdong 14 days.
Zheng Jin, spokesperson of the Shanghai Municipal Health and Wellness Committee, responded that foreigners and China people are the same, and only those who come to Shanghai in key areas are observed in isolation, and all other areas are the same. During the epidemic prevention and control period, Shanghai public security organs continued to provide visa extension and certificate processing services for foreigners to ensure their legal stay and residence. For foreigners who are in urgent need of entry and meet the requirements, it is convenient to apply for port visas, and for foreigners who have urgent needs in Shanghai, they will also urgently apply for residence stop certificates.
Beijing Now Beijing requires those who return to Beijing to stay at home or concentrate on observation 14 days after they arrive in Beijing. Does it include foreigners who have returned to Beijing from abroad? In this regard, He Qinghua, head of the Municipal Bureau of Disease Control and Prevention of the National Health and Health Commission, responded: Beijing has issued a policy to require all people returning to Beijing to observe at home for 14 days. Where to go back to Beijing cannot be used as a criterion, because the route is not clear.
Tips:
As the epidemic situation in foreign countries has not been controlled, it is completely understandable that people who come back from abroad should be quarantined for 14 days in order to prevent people from being infected by viruses brought back from abroad. At the moment of the outbreak, no one can underestimate the seriousness of the epidemic. For everyone's safety, no matter which country you come back from, you should observe in isolation according to relevant regulations.
What should I pay attention to in home isolation? 1. Place close contacts in a well-ventilated independent room. If there is no separate room, keep a distance of at least 1 m from the close contacts and restrict the activities of the close contacts.
2, indoor ventilation, natural ventilation or mechanical ventilation, winter window ventilation, attention should be paid to the cold caused by indoor and outdoor temperature difference.
3, home isolation should also pay attention to wash your hands frequently, especially when there are other family members at home, because there are more bacteria on your hands, you should disinfect furniture and supplies in time.
4. You have to wear a mask for home isolation, because the virus is mainly spread by droplets, and wearing a mask can prevent virus infection to a certain extent.
5, home isolation should also pay attention to frequent disinfection, disinfection is to use some disinfectant or disinfectant to disinfect wardrobes, tables, chairs, bedside and other places.
Why do you want to isolate 14 days at home to control the source of infection?
Home isolation is the most effective way to control the source of infection, that is, to control the source of infection within the scope of the epidemic and not to spread to other areas. Sources of infection include patients with infectious diseases, people with no clinical symptoms but carrying pathogens and infected animals.
2, cut off the route of transmission
Transmission route refers to the process of pathogen transmission from the source of infection to the susceptible population. In order to cut off the route of transmission, it is necessary to take certain measures to block the transfer of pathogens from the source of infection to the susceptible host, so as to prevent the occurrence of diseases.
3. Protect vulnerable groups
If suspected patients or people with pathogens come into contact with susceptible people, they may also spread the virus to susceptible people, so home isolation is also a kind of protection for susceptible people.
