Provincial disease control experts reminded that our province has entered the high incidence of human infection with the H7N9 bird flu epidemic, residents should pay attention to strengthening protection.

Local regular medical institutions will visit the clinic. If there has been contact with live birds in the past week, they should take the initiative to inform the doctors that they should not purchase and take medicines on their own, let alone abuse the antibiotics. Those who engage in poultry breeding, sales, slaughter, and processing industries, as well as those exposed to birds within one week before the onset of disease, need to focus on preventing human infection with H7N9 bird flu.

Experts stressed that to avoid areas where the bird flu has gone out and try to avoid contact with the birds, it is best not to purchase live birds for slaughter and processing. If wild birds that are found sick or dead are found in the wild, do not touch them easily, and report to the venue immediately. Management department; After contact with poultry, remember to wash hands thoroughly with hand sanitizer and water; chicken and other foods should be thoroughly cooked; cutting boards, knives and utensils for handling raw poultry and cooked poultry should be used separately to avoid mixing. At the same time, maintain indoor air circulation, pay attention to personal hygiene, keep the room clean, avoid overwork, and achieve a diversified and balanced diet.
