Maintaining Good Hygiene and Health Habits

During the outbreak of the COVID-19, while taking good protective measures, maintaining good hygiene and health habits can effectively reduce the risk of infection. On January 27, the NHC released a Guidebook on Public Prevention of Novel Coronavirus-infected Pneumonia, which suggested the following ways to maintain good hygiene and health habits:

* Frequently open the windows of your house for better ventilation; 

* Do not share towels with your family members;

* Keep your home and tableware clean; 

* Sun-cure your clothes and quilts often; 

* Do not spit; 

* Wrap your oral and nasal secretion with tissue and throw it in a covered dustbin; 

* Balance your nutrition and exercise moderately; 

* Do not touch, buy and eat wild animals (gamey), and avoid visiting the market that sells live animals (poultry, seafood and wild animals); 

* Have thermometer, surgical or N95 masks, and domestic disinfectants at home.

保持良好衛生和健康習慣

在新冠肺炎疫情期間,做好防護措施的同時,保持良好衛生和健康習慣可以有效降低感染風險。國家衛生健康委在2020年1月27日發布的《新型冠狀病毒感染的肺炎防控公眾預防指南匯編》中介紹了保持良好衛生和健康習慣的主要做法:居室勤開窗,經常通風;家庭成員不共用毛巾,保持家居、餐具清潔,勤曬衣被;不隨地吐痰,口鼻分泌物用紙巾包好,棄置于有蓋垃圾箱內;注意營養,適度運動;不要接觸、購買和食用野生動物(即野味),盡量避免前往售賣活體動物(禽類、海產品、野生動物等)的市場;家庭備置體溫計、醫用外科口罩或N95口罩、家用消毒用品等物資。
