1.How to protect children playing outside?

The best way to protect the children is to keep them indoors. Make sure to wear masks when you have to go outside with the children. It is better to drive a car than to use a public transport and going by foot is the optimal choice providing the place is close to where you live.

2.How can children properly wear a mask?

Generally speaking, facemasks are not suitable for babies. And the N95 respirator is not recommended for children because of its low air permeability. Parents should at all times check if the child wearing a mask feels comfortable or has difficulty in breathing.

3.How can children properly wash their hands?

Under all circumstances, washing hands with running water and soap is the best choice. If not available, take tissues and alcohol-based sanitizers with you when you go outside.

4.When should parents take their children to the hospital?

If the child shows symptoms of coughing or fever but has not gone outside recently or contacted any infected patients, they may have their temperature taken and be treated with medicine at home. But if the temperature fails to go down for quite some time or further symptoms like persistent cough, difficulty in breathing, or lethargy are detected, parents should take the child to pediatric out-patient in the hospital nearby.

5.Should the parents get their children vaccinated now or should they wait?

Different vaccines have different schedule requirements. Some of the vaccines can be delayed for a couple of weeks while others may have strict schedules requiring them to be given before a certain age. Please follow those requirements and get the child vaccinated before the deadline. In case there is a risk of exposure to rabies or tetanus, please get the children vaccinated immediately.

1. 帶孩子出門該如何防護(hù)？

少出門，就是最好的防護(hù)。

如果必須出門，戴好口罩，盡量自駕，少乘公共交通工具。如果路程近，步行是最佳選擇。

2. 孩子的口罩怎么戴？

通常來講，年齡極小的嬰幼兒不能戴口罩。N95口罩透氣度最差，不適合孩子使用。孩子戴口罩時，家長需隨時注意孩子有無呼吸困難等不適情況。

3. 如何給孩子洗手？

不論什么時候，流動的清水沖洗+香皂，都是首選。

外出不方便流水洗手時，要隨身攜帶紙巾和含有酒精成分的免洗洗手液。

4. 孩子出現(xiàn)什么情況要去醫(yī)院？

若出現(xiàn)咳嗽、發(fā)熱等癥狀，但確定無外出、沒有接觸過感染病人，可先檢測體溫，居家治療。若體溫持續(xù)不降，或咳嗽加重、出現(xiàn)呼吸困難、精神狀態(tài)不佳等，建議就近到開設(shè)兒科門診的醫(yī)院就診。

5. 孩子近期還能打疫苗嗎？

各種疫苗的接種期不同，有的晚接種幾周也不必過于擔(dān)心；

但對于有嚴(yán)格月齡、年齡限制的疫苗，確實建議在一個時間點前完成接種。

有狂犬病或破傷風(fēng)暴露風(fēng)險的，建議盡快接種。
