Public Places Prevention and Control

Public places are where the general public take part in social activities, therefore they are a key link in the prevention and control of infectious diseases. These places are related to people's health and economic and social development. 

On January 30, the Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism of the State Council published a Guide on Health Protection of Novel Coronavirus-infected Pneumonia in Public Places, listing suggestions and requirements for health protection in public places and workplaces where people often gather, such as hotels, shopping malls, cinemas, swimming pools, museums, waiting rooms and lounges, and office buildings. 

* For hygienic practices in public places, it is important to clean and disinfect the surface of objects. Spray or wipe the surfaces with high frequency of contact (elevator buttons, handrails and door handles) with chlorine-containing disinfectants and disinfectant wipes; 

* Ensure disinfection of food (drinking) utensils, sanitary ware, and textiles such as clothes, bedding and seat covers; 

* Well ventilate the rooms, with natural wind preferred; 

* Clean the air conditioning filters regularly, and close the air return channel if not in use; 

* Ensure normal operation of hand washing facilities and adequate hand sanitizers, quick-dry hand disinfectants or inductive hand disinfection facilities; 

* Strengthen garbage classification management, timely collection and removal of garbage, and regular disinfection and cleaning of garbage cans and other containers; 

* Set an emergency area for temporary isolation and standard treatment of suspected or confirmed cases; 

* Post health education materials about epidemic prevention and control in a conspicuous place in the site.

In terms of personal protection, the staff should pay attention to personal protection, hand hygiene, and physical condition. Mobile personnel should reduce gatherings and unnecessary outings. They must make sure of personal protection and hand hygiene if going out. In crowded public places, it is recommended to wear medical masks and wash hands frequently. Health monitoring and registration of visitors shall be made at office buildings and other places.

公共場所防控

公共場所是公眾進行社會活動的重要載體,也是防控傳染病發生流行的重點環節,公共場所衛生安全關系人民群眾健康和經濟社會發展。為加強疫情防控,2020年1月30日,國務院應對新冠肺炎疫情聯防聯控機制印發《公共場所新型冠狀病毒感染的肺炎衛生防護指南》,對賓館、商場、影院、游泳館、博物館、候車(機)室、辦公樓等人群經常聚集活動的公共場所和工作場所的衛生防護提出措施指引和操作要求。

公共場所衛生操作方面,重點做好物體表面清潔消毒,對高頻接觸的物體表面(如電梯間按鈕、扶手、門把手等),可用含氯消毒劑、消毒濕巾進行噴灑或擦拭;加強餐(飲)具的消毒、衣服、被褥、座椅套等紡織物及衛生潔具的清潔消毒;加強通風換氣,保持場所內空氣流通,首選自然風;定期清洗空調濾網,未使用空調時應關閉回風通道;確保場所內洗手設施運行正常,配備足量洗手液、速干手消毒劑或感應式手消毒設施;加強垃圾分類管理,及時收集并清運,定期對垃圾桶等垃圾盛裝容器進行消毒清潔;設立應急區域,當出現疑似或確診病例時,及時到該區域進行暫時隔離和規范處理;在場所內顯著區域,開展防控健康宣教。

個人防護方面,工作人員要做好“三注意”,即注意個人衛生防護、注意手衛生、注意身體狀況。流動人員要減少聚集,減少不必要的外出,如果外出應做好個人防護和手衛生,在人口較為密集的公共場所,建議佩戴醫用口罩、勤洗手等;辦公樓等場所要加強對來訪人員健康監測和登記等工作。
