Why is the epidemic in Guangdong so serious? How should we prevent it?

As of the 9th, Guangdong had 6 new locally confirmed cases. There are three possible reasons why the epidemic in Guangdong is so serious. We should take personal protection, actively get vaccinated against COVID-19, and avoid going to crowded places. Why is the epidemic so serious?

The epidemic in Guangdong has been going on for a long time, but there is still no sign of ending. After several rounds of nucleic acid screening, new confirmed cases are still emerging.

Why is the epidemic in Guangdong so serious?

First of all, the overseas population flow is relatively large.

Guangdong has a relatively large migrant population, accounting for 90% of the country’s inbound population. There are more than 300 centralized quarantine sites in use in Guangdong Province, and as many as 30,000 people are quarantined every day.

my country’s domestic epidemic situation has been well controlled, but the epidemic situation in other overseas countries is not optimistic. During the epidemic, transactions cannot be completely blocked, and coupled with the dangers of mutated viruses, it is easy for infected people to appear.

Then, the virus mutates and spreads faster.

Among the confirmed cases in Guangzhou, infection with the Indian variant strain was found. Guangzhou has the super-large Baiyun International Airport. Passengers from African countries arrive in Guangzhou first when they come to China.

Because the virus mutates and becomes more contagious, you may be infected through casual contact if you eat in the same restaurant. But don’t worry, our country’s current prevention measures are effective.

Finally, there are many asymptomatic infections.

Asymptomatic infections refer to people who are infected with the virus but do not show the clinical manifestations of people infected with the new coronavirus. The result was only positive in the nucleic acid test. These people often don't know they have the virus but are equally capable of spreading it.

In these rounds of large-scale nucleic acid testing in Guangdong, many cases of asymptomatic infections have emerged. This has made the epidemic more difficult. Fortunately, the active cooperation of epidemic prevention personnel and the public has allowed timely screening of infected people. How to prevent it?

The way to prevent COVID-19 is actually very simple. If each of us can do it, COVID-19 will no longer be scary.

First of all, get the COVID-19 vaccine in time.

Our understanding of the new coronavirus is no longer as ignorant as before. Scientists have developed a vaccine to prevent the new coronavirus and are promoting vaccination across the country.

my country’s new coronavirus vaccine is highly safe and has good defensive effect, and as long as the Chinese people are vaccinated, it can be vaccinated for free. As vaccines continue to be developed, vaccines suitable for different groups of people are being studied.

Although vaccination cannot achieve 100% defense effect, it can help ourselves resist the attack of the new coronavirus and give our lives an extra layer of protection.

Then, take personal protection.

If each of us can consciously improve our awareness of protection, wear masks when going out, wash hands frequently, maintain social distance, etc., epidemic prevention and control will be smoother and safer.

Perhaps because our country has done a good job in preventing and controlling the epidemic, most people have begun to loosen their awareness of it. However, the epidemic situation is still out of control in other countries, so personal protection cannot be slackened.

If you want to travel, try to travel domestically. China has as many great rivers and mountains as foreign countries. China is so big, there is always a place for you.

Finally, avoid going to crowded places.

Guangdong is the most famous for its morning tea. Many locals like to start their day with morning tea. In this Guangdong epidemic, the transmission site was a morning tea restaurant, and diners and waiters in the restaurant were also infected.

So it’s better to avoid going to crowded places, don’t gather in crowds, and don’t join in the fun. After symptoms appear, you should wear a mask for protection and go to a designated hospital for treatment immediately. The epidemic is ruthless, but people are compassionate.

There are many touching moments during the Guangdong epidemic, which allow people to see the tolerance and consideration between people. For example, the 75-year-old grandmother in the morning tea restaurant was infected. Many people did not accuse her of doing anything wrong. They were more concerned about her physical condition and whether she could withstand the pain.

Also when large-scale nucleic acid testing was carried out in Guangzhou, the sky was not beautiful and it suddenly started to rain heavily. However, the citizens did not leave and were still waiting in line for testing in an orderly manner.

Some citizens even held umbrellas for the medical staff, and the medical staff stood firm at their posts without flinching, taking samples for the citizens despite the heavy rain. It is these dedicated and selfless medical staff that make us not afraid of the new coronavirus and make us full of hope.

The epidemic is ruthless, but people are compassionate. It is said that a friend in need is a friend indeed. It is this tolerance and understanding between people that can make us more united, more confident and stronger. Having said that

The reason for the seriousness of the epidemic in Guangdong may be related to virus mutation. But don’t worry, the existing prevention measures are quite effective. On the road to preventing COVID-19, we should improve our self-awareness, actively get vaccinated, and avoid going to crowded places.
