Beijing CDC reminds schools to reduce organizing collective activities this winter.

　　(Reporter Sun Leqi) At present, the city is in the season of high incidence of respiratory diseases. The Municipal Health and Health Commission recently announced the list of 250 community health service centers providing outpatient services for children, which is convenient for children to seek medical treatment nearby. At the same time, the Municipal Center for Disease Control and Prevention reminded that schools are the key places prone to cluster epidemics, and children and adolescents are the key vulnerable groups. Schools should reduce organizing collective activities this winter.

　　The Municipal Center for Disease Control and Prevention requires that schools should strictly implement the systems of morning and afternoon check-up, registration and reporting of absence due to illness. When students are found to have fever, cough and other symptoms, they should wear masks for students and contact their parents in time, and seek medical treatment as required. Teachers and students infected with respiratory infectious diseases are not allowed to go to work and go to school with illness.

　　Classroom, dormitory, canteen and other public places should maintain air circulation, strengthen daily window ventilation, and do a good job in environmental sanitation. Schools should guide students to increase the frequency of hand washing after recess activities. Classes with suspected or clinically diagnosed respiratory infectious diseases should strengthen measures such as symptom monitoring, case management, disinfection and ventilation. Schools with a concentrated fever epidemic advocate that students in the class where the case is located wear masks during the epidemic. Considering that influenza, COVID-19 and other respiratory infectious diseases may occur after entering winter, schools should do a good job in health education for joint prevention of multiple diseases and reduce the organization of collective activities this winter.

　　Students who feel unwell should report to teachers and parents in time. Maintain good personal hygiene habits and pay attention to hand hygiene. Balanced diet, regular work and rest, moderate exercise to strengthen immunity. Add clothes in time during outdoor activities to avoid increasing the chance of infection due to catching cold. In the high-incidence season, activities in crowded places should be minimized to avoid contact with patients with respiratory infections, and masks should be worn when entering crowded places. Reduce going out when you have respiratory symptoms and wear a mask when you go out. After the child has respiratory symptoms and is diagnosed, parents should follow the doctor’s advice and rest at home to avoid repeated visits.

　　In addition, the Municipal Center for Disease Control and Prevention requires that all medical institutions should pay attention to the prevention and control of nosocomial infection while increasing the capacity of diagnosis and treatment services to avoid nosocomial infection caused by patients gathering. For patients with stable condition, superior medical institutions should adopt graded diagnosis and treatment measures or actively guide them to community hospitals to complete follow-up diagnosis and treatment, so as to alleviate the pressure of medical treatment.

　　In order to better protect children’s demand for medical treatment and facilitate children to seek medical treatment nearby, the Municipal Health and Health Commission recently released a list of 250 community health service centers providing outpatient services for children in this city.
