The news came out at a press conference held by the National Health Commission today: At present, the overall number of diagnosis and treatment of children's respiratory diseases in secondary and above medical institutions across the country is showing a fluctuating downward trend, and the increase in pediatric diagnosis and treatment in some large children's specialized hospitals and general hospitals has been alleviated to some extent. . Judging from the overall situation of fever clinics and emergency departments, the number of respiratory disease visits across the country has been relatively stable in recent times, especially as primary medical institutions have diverted some patients.
Mi Feng, spokesperson of the National Health Commission, said: In response to the current high incidence of respiratory diseases, especially respiratory diseases in children, the National Health Commission, together with the State Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine and the National Administration of Disease Control and Prevention, continue to strengthen monitoring and judgment, and mobilize the supply and supply of medical resources in various regions. Diagnosis and treatment work: guide local governments to coordinate the overall deployment of medical resources within and between medical institutions, open more relevant clinics and treatment areas according to the number of patients, expand ward resources, and guide secondary hospitals, maternal and child health hospitals, traditional Chinese medicine hospitals, and pediatrics at primary medical and health institutions. Outpatient clinics should be opened "as often as possible", extending consultation hours, optimizing in-hospital diagnosis and treatment processes, improving service efficiency, and effectively ensuring pediatric diagnosis and treatment needs.
The overall normal medical services nationwide have not been affected. Meeting requirements: It is necessary to give full play to the role of medical consortiums, medical communities, medical groups and Internet medical care, establish top-down collaboration, expert sinking and patient referral mechanisms between general hospitals and primary medical institutions, and hierarchical and graded diversion to facilitate patients to make reasonable choices for medical treatment. . Give full play to the characteristics and advantages of traditional Chinese medicine and combine traditional Chinese and Western medicine to improve the prevention and treatment effect. Key places and crowded places such as primary and secondary schools, child care institutions, nursing homes, and social welfare homes must implement measures such as ventilation and disinfection, strengthen health science popularization and health monitoring, and implement personal protection to reduce the spread of diseases and reduce the risk of infection. We should continue to do a good job in vaccination and continuously optimize vaccination services.

In view of the particularities of schools, childcare institutions, and public transportation, it is mainly recommended to strengthen the following prevention and control measures.
First of all, for schools and child care institutions: First, they must be vaccinated as early as possible and in a timely manner. Students, faculty and staff should receive influenza and other vaccinations as early as possible to improve their own immune barrier and reduce the risk of disease. The second is to strengthen environmental cleaning, maintain indoor hygiene, regularly open windows for ventilation, maintain indoor air flow, and improve classroom air quality. However, in winter and spring, everyone knows that the outdoor temperature is relatively low, so you should pay attention to keeping warm when opening windows for ventilation. Third, it is recommended to strengthen health monitoring, carry out morning and afternoon check-ups, and register absences from classes. Students, faculty and staff are advised to attend class without illness to prevent the introduction of infectious diseases into schools or classrooms.
Secondly, for public transportation: first, it is necessary to clean and disinfect the interior of the transportation vehicle, maintain the air quality inside the transportation vehicle, and ventilate regularly; second, it is recommended to wear a mask during the season of high incidence of respiratory infectious diseases to reduce exposure and incidence. risks, be the first person responsible for your own health.
