Reminds Foreign Friends and Compatriots from Hong Kong and Macao in
Hunan to Wear a Mask and Take Proper Personal Protection A
COVID-19 case was confirmed in Furong district, Changsha, according to
the announcement of the Office of Changsha Municipal COVID-19 Prevention
and Control Headquarter on March 21. The epidemiological investigation
shows that the abovementioned case had overlapped outdoor path with
another infected case who traveled to Changsha from another province.
Both of them did not wear masks. They walked from opposite directions
and passed each other at a distance of only 0.5 meters. Without
wearing a mask, can the virus be transmitted at a distance of about 0.5
meters, especially in the open air? The answer is yes, according to an
expert from CDC. No matter how much the COVID-19 virus mutates, it can
still spread through droplets and contacts. The most cost-effective and
simple ways to avoid infection are to properly wear a mask, wash and
disinfect hands and keep a safe distance. CDC
reminds the public that the pandemic prevention and control is a duty
for all, and everyone is responsible for their own health. In daily
life, it is necessary to properly take personal protections by wearing
masks, washing hands frequently, and maintaining a social distance of 1
meter in public places, etc. It is also required to comply with
prevention and control protocols such as scanning the designated health
code for each public place at the entrance, getting vaccinated and
avoiding gatherings.
