The new coronavirus will break out again in autumn and winter, which is a consensus in the medical community - because the temperature is low in autumn and winter, and the human body's immunity decreases during low temperatures, and the new coronavirus is a respiratory disease and its reproductive ability will increase in autumn and winter. So how do we do it? In addition to being psychologically prepared, prevention and control measures must also be taken again.

1. Autumn and winter will usher in the second outbreak of the epidemic

Professor Zhang Wenhong said in an interview with the media that "the second outbreak of autumn and winter is basically certain"; Academician Zhong Nanshan also said in an interview that "the global epidemic has not yet ended, and China is still facing danger, especially to be wary of the second wave of the epidemic." COVID-19 is a respiratory disease, mainly transmitted through droplets and aerosols, as well as contact transmission. After the fall and winter seasons, the following problems will help the spread of the new coronavirus:

1. In the cold season, the resistance of the human respiratory tract will greatly decrease, which is also the main reason why influenza often breaks out in autumn and winter;

2. The vitality of the new coronavirus is significantly reduced in high temperature weather, and the survivability is the strongest and the transmission power is stronger at 0~10℃;

3. The temperature is lower in autumn and winter, and people will gather more indoors, which will also help the virus spread among the population.

2. This is what we need to do in autumn and winter epidemic prevention and control

The most important thing in the prevention and control of the autumn and winter epidemic is to strengthen the awareness of epidemic prevention, and temperature measurement in public places is still the top priority. The following points should be achieved in the prevention and control of the epidemic in autumn and winter:

1. Continue to pay attention to measuring body temperature

It is understood that the first symptom of most infected people is fever, so you should always insist on measuring your body temperature. Try to achieve early detection, early prevention and early treatment;

2. Continue to maintain social distance

Wear a mask and try not to gather. It is best to use public chopsticks when relatives and friends gather, to reduce the risk of virus infection;

3. Get influenza and pneumonia vaccinations

Getting influenza and pneumonia vaccines can reduce the risk of infection, especially children and the elderly;

4. Stay alert and should not relax

From this moment on, everyone must enhance their awareness of epidemic prevention and control, continue to implement various prevention and control measures and implement joint prevention and control mechanisms.

The road to epidemic prevention is long and cumbersome, but if everyone pays attention to it and everyone takes various prevention and control measures - wearing masks, measuring body temperature, maintaining social distance, seeking medical treatment immediately if there is a fever, etc., then the virus will be curbed and will eventually be eliminated by humans.
