September 14,2020

According to recent data from the World Health Organization, the cumulative number of confirmed cases of new crowns worldwide has exceeded 20 million, and the cumulative number of deaths has exceeded 730,000. Among them, the United States, as the most severely affected country in the world, accounts for about a quarter of the total number of confirmed cases in the world. In recent weeks, the number of new confirmed cases and deaths in a single day in the United States has remained high. The Director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (Robert Redfield, MD) warned that if Americans do not take preventive measures such as wearing masks and maintaining social distancing, then in the fall, along with influenza and new crown pneumonia, the United States may experience historical " The most terrible autumn".

 

Follow CDC guidelines

Wear a mask, keep 6 feet away from others, wash your hands often with soap and warm water, and be alert to crowds. Redfield said: We must all do it. One of the preventive measures that everyone must take. Redfield urged Americans to add a fifth preventive measure to their fall to-do list: influenza vaccination. Redfield said the CDC has purchased millions of additional doses of the drug to be distributed this fall to reduce the number of cases.

Maintain moderate humidity in indoor air

Keeping proper humidity indoors is helpful to our respiratory health. Studies have shown that the virus survives longer in autumn. The new coronavirus has adapted well to humans. It can spread through respiratory droplets and contaminated surfaces. This pathogen is thought to prefer lower temperatures and humidity. If your indoor humidity is high, please use a dehumidifier to maintain proper humidity. In terms of relative humidity, the most suitable air relative humidity for the human body is 40%-50%.
