2022-05-20: [Article Link]  The local epidemic in Shanghai is gradually alleviating. Zhongshan Hospital Affiliated to Fudan University released a popular science article "Never spray disinfectants on the human body" on Wednesday (18th), pointing out that the possibility of the human body and the coat carrying the new coronavirus is very small, and the disinfectant is harmful to the human body, and it is easy to cause lung damage during spraying. It is worth noting that behind the article is also the real situation of the "difficulty of going home" faced by Shanghai medical staff recently. Zhongshan Hospital Affiliated to Fudan University published a popular science article "Never spray disinfectants on the human body". (WeChat public account of Zhongshan Hospital Affiliated to Fudan University) According to a report by Shanghai " ", Dr. Li, who works in a hospital in Shanghai, recently returned home from work but was treated differently. At the entrance of the community, Dr. Li was instructed by the staff to "enter the door and disinfect first." He was then sprayed with disinfectant all over his body and wiped his hair with alcohol disinfectant wet wipes. He was even asked to "step aside and take off his mask and replace it." "I am a healthy person, not a courier with a virus! Your disinfection is meaningless to epidemic prevention, and it is very disrespectful to me. "Dr. Li, who has decades of medical experience, immediately questioned the relevant practices, but only received a response: "That's our rule. If you want to enter the door, you have to do it." We are already applying for an epidemic-free community, don't let you affect everyone by yourself. 」 However, after Dr. Li completed a series of downhill work as required, when he went out to work the next day, he was reminded again by the community staff, "It's best not to come back when you go out, don't affect everyone." Dr. Li also said that because of his medical status, his family has been treated differently. Coincidentally, Dr. Wang also received a notice from the community because of his medical status, requiring medical staff to be strictly eliminated, and he and his co-residents to implement strict home control. In order not to affect his family, Dr. Wang could only choose not to go home. In fact, the encounter between the above two doctors is not a case. Most local medical staff have had similar encounters, except in various community groups, "Please do not go to the hospital if you do not have to." In addition to the reminder that those returning from the hospital must do a good job of personal health management"; the investigative report of Shanghai TV station "Making it Smoother for medical staff to Go Home" also showed that front-line anti-epidemic medical care in the current prevention and control situation, there is indeed a situation of "it is difficult to return home". Dr. Wang said that both doctors and nurses will wear protective equipment during their daily work and disinfect according to very strict standards. He continued that he is also a parent and a child, understands the importance of self-protection better, and will never take life as a joke. He also urged the public not to delay medical treatment because they feel that the hospital is "dangerous". "I hope everyone will not be prejudiced against the hospital." In response to the issue of "do not spray disinfectants on the human body", in fact, mainland officials have already made relevant requirements. Circular No. 276 issued by the Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism of the State Council, "The Work Plan for Medical Treatment of the Covid Pneumonia Epidemic in Autumn and Winter" clearly stipulates that "disinfectants are not directly used to disinfect personnel"; at the epidemic prevention and control press conference held in Shanghai on May 17, Zhu Renyi, director of the Disinfection and Infection Control Section of the Infectious Disease Prevention and Control Institute of the Municipal Center for Disease Control and Prevention, also made it clear that do not over-disinfect, do not set up disinfection channels to disinfect the human body, and do not use automatic spraying of chemical disinfectants to disinfect when there are people indoors. These disinfectants Not only does it not disinfect, it will also damage the environment and cause harm to human health.
