新冠病毒肺炎疫情已经持续了数周,深深影响了亿万人的生活。虽然情况还不明朗,但我们相信,只要防护方式得当,就能更好地保护好自己和家人!
儿童防护要点
新型冠状病毒颜色鲜艳,却万分凶险,世界卫生组织(WHO)已经把它命名为COVID-19,请家长们务必牢记以下几点,帮孩子们做好防护:
勤洗手
吃熟食
勤通风
戴口罩
多喝水
不去人多的地方
吃熟食、勤通风、多喝水、不去人多的地方,这些都不难理解,但勤洗手和戴口罩的“技术含量”就比较高了。下面,我们就来看看北京疾病防控中心是如何建议的吧:
划重点
01
口罩,你戴对了吗?
如何选择合适的口罩?
口罩戴得合适,能起到防护作用,但过度防护不仅效果打折而且浪费资源。我们普通人居家生活可能用到的是这三种口罩:
应该怎样戴口罩?
选择合适尺码的口罩,儿童应尽量选择儿童专用口罩。佩戴前先洗手。佩戴时,口罩应深色面朝外,金属条向上,将折面完全展开,完全覆盖嘴、鼻、下巴,金属条沿鼻两侧压实,使口罩与面部完全贴合。佩戴后,尽量不触摸,若需触摸,触摸前、后彻底洗手。
应该怎样摘口罩?
佩戴前和摘除后均应注意双手卫生。摘除口罩时应把套耳朵的橡皮筋摘下来,注意不要触碰口罩前部。一次性使用医用口罩在弄湿或弄脏时应及时更换,废弃后不要随地乱扔,应按照生活垃圾分类要求处理。
02
洗手方法有讲究
我们每天都会洗手,但洗得不一定讲究。这段时期,我们正好带领孩子一起养成正确的洗手方法:
用水将手淋湿,取足够皂液以涂满整个手部,充分揉搓20至30秒,用水清洗双手,用纸巾擦干,最后使用纸巾垫着关掉水龙头。洗手过程中,关键在于揉搓。
03
是真是假?
疫情急迫,于是似是而非的防护方法在网上流传开来,无从分辨。现在,让我们一起看看它们是真是假:
1
吃维生素C可以预防感染病毒吗
不能。维生素C可帮助机体维持正常免疫功能,但不能增强免疫力,也没有抗病毒的作用。疾病治疗过程中,摄入维生素C通常只是辅助性治疗手段。
2
戴多层口罩可以更好地预防吗
不能。戴一个口罩就可以了,戴上三四个口罩会使人喘不过气来,因为空气无法从正面进入鼻腔,只能从侧面进入,反而起不到防护效果。另外,不一定非要戴N95口罩,公众在日常工作和生活中佩戴一次性医用口罩就可以。
3
用微波炉加热口罩后,可以继续使用吗
无论是用微波炉、电烤箱还是蒸锅加热口罩,都会不同程度破坏口罩内部结构,口罩就不能再次使用了。
04
更多居家防护措施
保护好自己和家人,就是在为我们整个社区、乃至整个社会做贡献。科学防护,从我们自己做起!
