In this appeal to students and parents in the National Day holiday, to avoid visiting crowded places, the epidemic-hit region, to avoid the rush, and in close contact with relatives and friends coming from abroad. At the same time, the school holidays also should pay close attention to the physical condition of the students, leave the last day or the first day of school, teachers must statistics class, there are fever and cough, sore throat and flu-like symptoms such as the number of students to prevent the October 9 students ill to school phenomenon.

At the same time, the hospital visits but also the implementation of a strict system of limiting the access of fever or flu-like symptoms to enter the wards, to prevent nosocomial infections.
“Golden Week” when the pie shut up
“Eat” is one of the programs of the most important holiday, we all know can not eat too greasy, pay attention to hygiene. So when they go out in the tourist, how do we do note that food hygiene?
National tourism outside, enjoy the local specialty is undoubtedly a “food culture” to enjoy, but must pay attention to eating water sanitation, should not eat too much. Tourism foods should have a high nutrition, small size, easy to carry, health security and tasty characteristics. Luggage may wish to prepare meals that can provide energy for daily, and can meet the basic needs of the human body minerals and nutrients in a small food.
In addition, the catering industry in the holiday time it special attention. With the holiday received a marked increase in the frequency of customers, catering sectors to pay attention to food quality, food safety and other issues; simply because many customers, and appeared in food health issues. Food security is also an important component of public health also depends on us together to protect; producers, service providers and the customers themselves have to do a good job they should be doing, in order to protect our health.

Respiratory droplets can be inhaled directly, or by shaking hands, contact with objects, etc., handling the virus brought to the respiratory tract. Therefore, the most basic protective measures in daily life is to look at the ventilation window and wash their hands.

Each of us have to start from a small, pay attention to personal hygiene, strengthen physical exercise, so that disease outbreaks away from us!
“Holiday syndrome” needs to anticipate and prevent
Based on past experience, almost every one two weeks after the holiday, many people, especially for work or school friends will be there was a series of psychological, physical problems, the most obvious is that headaches, fatigue, gastrointestinal discomfort, fatigue or anxiety, at work Attention is also difficult to focus, etc. This is the “holiday syndrome” performance. Many people have to spend 12 weeks of time to adjust back, is really too much bother, so we should go ahead this year, with prevention in advance done.
A. Do not jam-packed holiday, and set aside one day, “win their hearts” and turn back clock adjustment.
B. Dry Eye Festival is also very common, the Internet, watching television had to CAREFUL IN THE SUMMER, you can eat more carrots, lean meat, animal liver, vitamin A and protein-rich foods or regularly drink green tea.
C. Many parents think that children usually learn stress hard work, a laissez-faire child to holiday on the day and night, sleeping upside down, this is actually a misunderstanding. Holidays where the children go to bed on time will not disrupt the biological clock, not after the end of their holiday to debug properly, easily lead to lack of energy, depression. The students, the most important thing is to maintain a normal lifestyle and study habits,
D. Do not breaking the old laws of normal daily routine, such as morning exercise, outdoor walks, etc. can be adhered to, do not arbitrarily interrupted. His family reunion and we should try to maintain a normal lifestyle for the elderly, do not let the elderly overtired, avoiding them to avoid mood swings too much, because it would unknowingly lead to decreased immunity the body, giving the virus an opportunity to exploit.
Warm Tips:
I recommend friends for themselves and their families to prepare a “Golden Week Gong Lue.” Must not become the normal work and school holidays, is also tired. During the holidays eating and drinking the night watching movies, playing mahjong all night, all night singing karaoke OK, and so will disrupt the patterns of life, these so-called “holiday lifestyle, holiday work and rest time” is likely to result in resistance to decline in susceptible diseases. Therefore, leave should not be too tired, late at night should be minimized, if you have appeared in the symptoms of upper respiratory tract infection, we must be more alert, no need to deliberately body temperature every day, but the flu-like symptoms must pay attention to.
“Golden Week” after the end of the prevention and control A flow is still not insensitive
Information sharing is a response to influenza valuable experience. “Golden Week” was over, we must continue to strengthen the schools, units and communities, the family linkage. Students or employees as long as the flu-like symptoms, whether or not fever, all should go home and rest. School or unit to notify patients with influenza-like symptoms to the community, community health service institutions can search for Head district heating day situation of the persons, and accordingly targeted community follow-up service and rehabilitation guidance. To remind parents to be truthful to the schools to report on the health of students, such as fever must be quarantined at home and timely communication with the school.
For the public, at this time each person must assume primary responsibility as a member of the community. Currently many of the emerging influenza A H1N1 influenza cases have been sick to work or study experience. Therefore, in this extraordinary period, each of us should pay more attention to their health status changes; When a flu-like symptoms, should choose to stay at home and minimize contact with the outside world and, if necessary and timely medical treatment should be. As in the “Golden Week” accidentally infected with a stream, or other respiratory infectious pathogens, do not rush to participate in collective activities such as school, work, etc. to prevent the spread caused by the wider spread of; to be restored, and then go to school or work units.
Protect themselves and their families is to the epidemic prevention and control out of a force!
