Protect people at high risk of serious illness
Wang Guiqiang, director of the Department of Infectious Diseases, First Hospital of Peking University, said that with the weakening of the pathogenicity of Omicron virus and the increase of its transmissibility, the current focus of epidemic prevention and control is to protect the elderly and people with severe and high-risk groups such as underlying diseases People should be vaccinated as soon as possible.
Wang Guiqiang, Director of the Department of Infectious Diseases, First Hospital of Peking University:The current site of infection of the Omicron strain is mainly the upper respiratory tract, leading to a very low rate of lower respiratory tract pneumonia. Because of this, its pathogenicity and the rate of severe cases have been significantly reduced. Of course, it is very contagious. We must pay attention to the state of the Omicron strain:
1. Effectively control large-scale infections;
2. Protect high-risk and high-risk groups with serious diseases. One is the elderly, especially those over the age of 80. Those with various serious underlying diseases are vulnerable groups;
3. Those who have not been vaccinated. Objectively speaking, vaccination can reduce the risk of serious illness and death after infection with the new coronavirus. Therefore, we still urge everyone to get vaccinated, especially the elderly.
Stratified treatment of general patients can observe treatment at home
Wang Guiqiang suggested implementing stratified treatment for patients with new crowns: ordinary patients can be observed and treated at home, leaving limited medical resources for high-risk groups with severe disease.
Wang Guiqiang, Director of the Department of Infectious Diseases, First Hospital of Peking University:At home, if you experience symptoms such as fever and cough, take some antipyretic and analgesic drugs, refresh yourself physically, or take some traditional Chinese medicines and some antiviral drugs under the guidance of a doctor. But we also emphasize not to mix multiple drugs together, because various drugs also have the risk of side effects, and interactions can also increase some adverse drug reactions.
Experts suggest that if you have symptoms such as fever, headache, sore throat and dry cough and suspect a new coronavirus infection, you can do an antigen test at home.
