During the epidemic, pregnant moms need to note the following things when going for pregnancy check-ups:

Avold taking public transport. You can go by taxi, uber or your private car

Dispose of used masks in a proper way upon getting home. Remember to change your clothes, wash your hands and face in time

1m Keep distance from others (at least one meter away) when you are on the way and in hospital.

How to protect your children when going out

Don't go out if possible, that is the best way to protect your children.

If have to, drive private car or take taxi and use public transportation less frequently such as buses and subways where people are crowded. Walking is the best choice for nearby destinations

Both parents and children should wear masks and ensure timely replacement, and do not touch the outside surface of masks, so as to avoid the virus transferring to the hands

Carry instant hand sanitizer and other disinfectant products with you, disinfect your children's hands in time if they touch other things, and try to keep children from sucking their fingers, rubbing their eyes and nose before disinfection.

Elevator is a closed and narrow space. Sharing one elevator with a virus carrier, you may get infected through his/her droplets spread by coughs, sneezes, and speeches.

If droplets fall on buttons or walls, the virus can be spread to other persons by contact. They may get infected by touching their mouth, nose or eyes before washing their hands.

But don't worry. just remember the following three sentences to prevent COVID-19:

Wear a mask when taking an elevator

Don't touch your face with your hands.

Wash your hands when you get home.

Stay in a specific room alone that satisfies the following conditions:

Good ventilation: make sure there is at least one window in the room. It would be better if the window is the air outlet of the whole house, which can protect the other areas of your house from polluted air

A separated restroom:

Wooden and metal furniture are preferred which are easier to be sterilize. You can also choose to cover layer of disposable plastic cloth on your fabric or leather furniture.

Things in the room should be as few as possible, which can reduce the chance of infection and the trouble of future cleaning.

Will open windows increase the chance of infection?

Actually. good ventilation helps to reduce the amount of viruses that may exist indoors and

helps to renew indoor air. "Diluted" outdoor air is almost impossible to bring viruses indoors.

If your family members are suspected acute respiratory infection patlents, open the window but keep the door closed during ventilation. Do not use central ventilation system to avoid the air in the sick people's room entering the clean areas.
