The Mutated Omicron Is Not Invincible

A new round of epidemic has begun again. The mutated Omicron has spread all over the world. How should we deal with it?

Although the transmission ability of Omicron mutant is enhanced, its transmission mode and route have not changed greatly. People need to do the following four things in their daily life and work

First, wear a mask. Wearing a mask is still an effective way to block the transmission of the virus, which is also applicable to the Omicron variant. Even if the whole process of vaccination and booster injection have been completed, it is also necessary to wear masks in indoor public places, public transport and other places. At the same time, we should maintain good hygiene habits such as washing hands frequently, keeping a distance of at least 1 meter in public places, opening windows for ventilation and less gathering, and actively cooperate with the implementation of various epidemic prevention measures.

Second, timely vaccination. Vaccination is recognized as one of the most successful and cost-effective health interventions. After completing the whole course of vaccination, those who have reached 6 months or more should be vaccinated with covid-19 vaccine booster injection in time.

Third, do a good job in personal health monitoring. In case of covid-19 symptoms such as fever, cough and shortness of breath, the patient should be monitored in time. Take the initiative to explain the recent history of going out and contact to the medical staff when seeing a doctor.

Fourth, reduce unnecessary travel. More than 100 countries and regions around the world have successively reported cases of Omicron mutant strain. It is recommended that you try not to go to high-risk countries or regions. If you have to go, you should strengthen personal protection during travel to reduce the risk of infection. Pay close attention to the local epidemic situation in China, do not go to the area with epidemic situation unless necessary, and local residents with epidemic situation do not leave their place of residence unless necessary.

When receiving overseas mail, take it from a fixed place as far as possible to realize contactless handover; When disassembling parts, try to carry out outdoors, correctly wear masks and disposable gloves to reduce direct contact and communication; The outer packaging should not be taken home, but should be treated according to the classification of domestic waste. If it needs to be taken home, the inner and outer packaging can be fully disinfected with chlorine disinfectant or 75 percent alcohol; Third, after handling the mail, take off the gloves in time, carefully disinfect or clean the hands, and replace the mask to avoid touching the mouth, eyes and nose with unclean hands.

In addition to some protective measures, we should eat and rest regularly, pay attention to nutritional supplement and improve our immunity. When necessary, you can take some nutritional supplements, supplement vitamins, amino acids and other daily nutrients, and prepare alcohol and fever prevention drugs at home. When a person's immunity is raised to a certain level, the body's own immune system may also be immune to some viruses.

In all, Maybe we don't have specific drugs to deal with Omicron for the time being, but as long as we are vaccinated and protected before going out, we can still avoid infection to a great extent.
