Scientific wear mask, for the new pneumonia, influenza and other respiratory infectious diseases have a preventive effect, not only for the protection of individuals, but also for public health.
Recently, the state council issued guidelines for the public to wear masks scientifically in response to the joint prevention and control mechanism of new coronavirus pneumonia (hereinafter referred to as the guidelines), which provides guidance on the selection and use of new coronavirus pneumonia masks for different populations.
According to the guidelines, the general public is advised not to wear masks in their homes, outdoors, in places where people do not gather and where ventilation is good.
New coronavirus is mainly transmitted by droplets, and wearing masks has become the most simple and efficient prevention and control measures. Masks play an important role in the prevention and control of new coronavirus.
According to statistics, medical surgical masks can block 70 percent of bacteria, N95 mask can block 95 percent of bacteria, in public activities, as long as the correct wearing of the mask, will not be easily infected with the new coronavirus.
As the situation of epidemic prevention and control in China continues to improve, some places allow the orderly opening of indoor and outdoor public places. At this time, the official release of guidelines for the public to wear masks scientifically is of great practical significance for the further prevention and control of the epidemic and the recovery of social and economic life.
Including the above "do not wear masks", "guidelines" for the selection and use of masks technical guidelines, most are not new.
Before that, a number of authoritative medical experts, including zhong nanshan, have given similar advice on "not wearing masks".
Although some of these Suggestions have existed for a long time, since the outbreak occurred, the initial progress has been made in fighting against the epidemic. Wearing masks has become the "standard" for most people, whether they are outdoors, in places where there is no personnel gathering, with good ventilation, or regardless of the level of outbreak risk in the specific environment.
According to a recent online survey, more than two-thirds of netizens "still insist on wearing masks whenever they go out", and some even stressed that "to make contributions to the country, we still insist on wearing masks".
Based on the needs of epidemic prevention and control, it is indeed necessary to persist in wearing masks in public places where people gather and in high-risk areas, especially those with cold symptoms.
This is not only a kind of protection for themselves, but also good for public health, and can be considered as a contribution to the country and society.
At the same time, it should be noted that choosing not to wear masks is also beneficial -- not only for yourself, but also for the country and society.
In general, the question of whether and what masks the public will wear is primarily a scientific one.
Only in accordance with the scientific guidelines to wear masks, not only for the elimination of stress, but also for the savings of masks.
For example, there is no need to be nervous about not wearing a mask when there is no crowd, good ventilation, etc.
If the public does not know the science of wearing masks, it is not conducive to free breathing, is not conducive to personal protection, but also because of outdoor wearing masks all the time and cause waste.
From this perspective, the guidelines are conducive to saving protection resources, reducing personal protection costs and facilitating more accurate personal protection and epidemic prevention and control.
This kind of scientific guidance not only guides the public to wear masks in a scientific way, but also guides the public administrators and law enforcers in a scientific way.
During the epidemic prevention and control period, Beijing, guangdong and other places stipulated that people entering public places should wear masks, and those who did not listen to dissuasion should be dealt with according to law.
Take parks as an example. If there is a lack of authoritative guidance, some local park managers may dissuade the tourists who do not wear masks first. If the tourists do not listen to the dissuasion, they may ask the law enforcement departments to intervene and handle the case according to law.
At the current stage, according to the guidelines, visitors can enter the park without wearing masks in a crowded, well-ventilated park, which puts forward new requirements for park management.
"Guidelines" as recommendations, guiding documents, although not laws and regulations, but some public places management and law enforcement work has important reference value.
Managers of public places and local law enforcers in all localities shall, in accordance with the guidelines, further adjust and refine the measures and standards for epidemic prevention and control, so as to ensure that the prevention and control situation continues to improve and the normal production and living order is fully and orderly restored.(guest commentator)
