Will The Mask Be Worn For Another Year? Be Careful Of These Three Situations! Zhong Nanshan Issued An Important Reminder

Even if the epidemic is under control, you still have to wear a mask

Academician Zhang Boli said: “From now on, the new crown does not have such a clear relationship with temperature. So temperatures like Indonesia and India are quite high, but now it also spreads a lot. Even if the epidemic is controlled, I think I still need to wear a mask. It’s really a habit to develop this kind of habit. I guess this mask will not be taken off within a year, at least by this time next year, so we must be prepared for this."

When can we use the new crown vaccine

Academician Zhang Boli answered: "China's vaccine development is at the forefront of the world. Three vaccines have been approved for clinical use in China. The RNA vaccine made by Academician Chen Wei is at the forefront. The first phase has 108 cases. The evaluation is complete. Now the 500 cases in the second phase have all been enrolled. If this phase goes well, she will start the third phase of the experiment."

But he said that the key to the next step is production capacity. The vaccine is successful. We have a population of 1.4 billion. A vaccine with an average capacity can only supply 10 million people. Ten million people are too few, so we will expand our production capacity. Expansion of production capacity is also limited, and there is also a time.

Zhong Nanshan: Can't be complacent

The risk of the second wave of epidemics is still high

On the 16th local time, Academician Zhong Nanshan said in an interview with foreign media video link that China has not yet established immunity to the new crown virus, and the risk of the second wave of the epidemic is still very high and should not be complacent.

Zhong Nanshan said: "I think at this stage, China's anti-epidemic situation is not more optimistic than some places abroad. Most Chinese people are still susceptible to the new coronavirus because they have not received enough immunity.

It is still recommended to wear a mask in the three cases

Regarding the issue of wearing masks, the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention also gave the latest recommendations.

At a press conference held by the Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism of the State Council on the afternoon of May 17, Feng Luzhao, a researcher at the China Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, suggested wearing a mask in the following three situations:

One is to wear masks in relatively closed public places, such as public transportation, elevators, and crowded public places;

The second is to wear a mask when you are sick, especially when you have fever, cough and respiratory symptoms to avoid spreading to other people;

The third is to wear masks in certain environments such as hospitals.

Feng Luzhao also said that in the case of good ventilation and good and safe social distance, it is not necessary to wear a mask, such as parks, streets with fewer people, and playgrounds. Especially during strenuous exercise, you should not wear a mask. In addition, there is no need to wear masks in low-risk areas where no new cases have been reported recently.
