Health Monitoring and Going to Hospital
Fever, cough and breathing difficulties might be induced by respiratory infections and other severe diseases. People should closely monitor their health conditions, take personal protection measures like wearing facemasks, and go to see a doctor nearby when they display symptoms like fever and coughing.
Citizens should monitor their health and that of their family members, minimize close contact with people who have symptoms of respiratory diseases (such as fever, cough or sneezing), and take temperature when feeling feverish. If there are children at home, parents can touch their foreheads in the morning and evening, and take their temperature in time if they have a fever.
People should go to local designated medical institutions for health check, diagnosis and treatment under the following two circumstances: (1) displaying symptoms of respiratory infections such as fever (with axillary temperature ≥37.3℃), coughing and shortness of breath; or (2) having traveled to or lived in Wuhan or surrounding areas or communities where confirmed cases have been reported, or having contact, within 14 days before feeling ill, with patients who have fever and symptoms of respiratory infections and have traveled to or lived in Wuhan or surrounding areas or communities where confirmed cases have been reported, or having involved in clustered cases.
On the way to see a doctor, people should wear surgical masks or respirators of grade N95, avoid taking public transportation, and open the window of the vehicle they take. They should keep at least 1 meter from others on the way to and after arriving at the hospital. They should tell the doctor in detail about their conditions, their recent travel and residence history, and their contact with people and animals, and cooperate with the doctor in relevant investigations.
健康监测与就医
发热、咳嗽和呼吸困难可能是呼吸道感染或其他严重疾病导致的症状。应密切关注健康状况,如果出现发热、咳嗽等症状,应注意戴口罩等个人防护,及时就近就医。
公民应主动做好个人与家庭成员的健康监测,尽可能减少与有呼吸道疾病症状(如发烧、咳嗽或打喷嚏等)的人密切接触,自觉发热时要主动测量体温。家中有儿童的,可早晚摸试其额头,如有发热及时为其测量体温。
发生以下两种情况时应及时到当地指定医疗机构进行排查诊治:一是出现发热(腋下温度≥37.3℃)、咳嗽、气促等急性呼吸道感染症状;二是有武汉及周边地区,或其他有病例报告社区的旅行史或居住史,或发病前14天内曾接触过来自武汉及周边地区,或其他有病例报告社区的旅行史或居住史的发热伴呼吸道症状的患者,或出现聚集性发病。
前往医院的路上,应佩戴医用外科口罩或N95口罩,尽量避免乘坐公共交通工具,路上打开车窗。在路上和到医院时,尽可能离其他人至少1米距离。就医时,应如实详细讲述患病情况和就医过程,告知医生近期旅行居住史、人员和动物接触史等,配合医生开展相关调查。
