Foreign Affairs (Hong Kong and Macao Affairs) Office of Hunan Province Reminds Foreign Friends and Compatriots from Hong Kong and Macao in Hunan to Wear a Mask and Take Proper Personal Protection

當前,，湖南疫情防控形勢嚴峻復(fù)雜。根據(jù)相關(guān)流調(diào)發(fā)現(xiàn),，長沙市芙蓉區(qū)一名確診病例曾與外地來長確診病例在戶外公共場所有過短暫時空交集，兩人均未戴口罩,，兩者相向而行,、擦肩而過，相隔0.5米左右,。

Currently, Hunan faces a severe and complicated COVID-19 prevention and control situation. According to an epidemiological investigation, a confirmed case in Furong District, Changsha had overlapped outdoor path with another infected case who traveled to Changsha from another province. Both of them did not wear masks. They walked from opposite directions and passed each other at a distance of only 0.5 meters.

未佩戴口罩,，相隔0.5米左右就能造成傳播嗎？而且是在戶外,？疾控中心專家表示,，答案是肯定的。新冠病毒無論再怎么變異,，仍然是通過飛沫,、接觸等方式傳播，要想防止病毒感染,，規(guī)范佩戴口罩,、勤洗手、手消毒,、保持安全距離是性價比最高,、最簡單的防護手段。

Without wearing a mask, can the virus be transmitted at a distance of about 0.5 meters, especially in the open air? The answer is yes, according to an expert from CDC. No matter how much the COVID-19 virus mutates, it can still spread through droplets and contacts. The most cost-effective and simple ways to avoid infection are to properly wear a mask, wash and disinfect hands and keep a safe distance.

疾控中心提醒：疫情防控,，人人有責,。每個人都是自己健康的第一責任人，在日常生活中務(wù)必要堅持規(guī)范佩戴口罩,，勤洗手,，公共場合保持1米社交距離，自覺做好個人防護,，進入公共場所要主動配合掃防疫“場所碼”,，主動配合疫情防控舉措。做好疫苗注射,，減少人員聚集,。

CDC reminds the public that the pandemic prevention and control is a duty for all, and everyone is responsible for their own health. In daily life, it is necessary to properly take personal protections by wearing masks, washing hands frequently, and maintaining a social distance of 1 meter in public places, etc. It is also required to comply with prevention and control protocols such as scanning the designated health code for each public place at the entrance, getting vaccinated and avoiding gatherings.
