JH QRCODE

As news of coronavirus, a new flu-like illness, has emerged in China, the rapidly changing and evolving situation, combined with a fear of what is not known about this virus has understandably put many people on edge, especially those that are the parents of young children. As a pediatrician doctor and parent of four young children, I understand this fear. The World Health Organization and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention offer many simple and practical steps you can follow to help keep your child safe in these anxiety provoking times.

As we all now know, a new human coronavirus was discovered in China in December 2019. Most people that have this illness develop symptoms that are common with influenza and other respiratory illnesses including fever, cough, runny nose, and sore throat. A small percentage of these progress to a much more serious form of pneumonia. With the memory of SARS on everyone’s minds, people are understandably worried. There is no vaccine currently available for this illness, so the best way to stay safe is to avoid being exposed to this virus. The best way to do this is to follow many of the same steps you follow to avoid exposure to other viruses like influenza.

1. Wash your hands! Wash your hands! Wash your hands

One of the best ways to prevent spread of illness is to wash hands frequently. The most effective way to do this is with soap and water. If soap and water are not available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer. Wash your hands and the hands of your children if hands are visibly dirty, after returning from outside, going to the bathroom, before eating, before and after preparing food, and after blowing your nose, coughing or sneezing.

2. Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands

Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands. This is understandably hard to do with young children, but this is a good time to start educating your children about hand hygiene and prevention of viral illness.

3. Keep away from others that are sick

Keep your children away from others that are sick and keep them home if they are sick.

4. Teach children to sneeze or cough into a tissue or their elbow

Teach children to sneeze or cough into a tissue or their elbow instead of covering their mouth with their hands. Then throw away the tissue or wash hands immediately.

5. Clean and disinfect frequently

Clean and disinfect frequently touched household objects, surfaces, and toys in your home with routine household cleaner.

6. Avoid sharing personal household items

Avoid sharing personal household items like cups, glasses, and utensils. These items should be washed with soap and water after use.

7. Practice food safety & Avoid eating raw or undercooked meat

Practice food safety when preparing meals for your family. Use different chopping boards for raw meat and cooked food and wash your hands between handling raw and cooked food. Avoid eating raw or undercooked meat.

8. Wear a mask

Masks have become mandatory in many situations. Masks do not eliminate risks, but may help in certain situations. Masks likely provide the most benefit for those that are already sick to help keep them from spreading infection to others. Most studies on the effectiveness of masks in preventing transmission of illness in the general population are inconclusive and inconsistent.

However, they do function as a barrier to cover your mouth and nose and reduce the number of times you touch your face. Wash your hands after you remove your mask and then again after you remove your child’s mask. Compliance in young children in wearing masks can be difficult. Be creative in ways to get your child to keep a mask on.

9. Seek medical care early

Seek medical care early if you or your child experience fever or respiratory symptoms. Be honest with your health care provider about any travel history or exposures. It is probably a good idea to speak with your physician first to understand the current policies about who can be seen where.

And don't forget to get a flu vaccine. Still by far, the most common respiratory illness in circulation is influenza.

10. Stay up to date with the latest updates and recommendations

The World Health Organization and the US and Shanghai Centers for Disease control (CDC) are good sources for reliable information. The American Academy of Pediatrics also provides advice on its parenting website. Despite some adjustments to our normal services, like the temporary closing of the Jiahui Health Jing’an and Yangpu clinics till Feb. 29, Shanghai Jiahui International Hospital, located at 689 Guiping Road, remains open, and continues to provide many services, including Family Medicine, Pediatrics, Emergency Services, and Obstetrics and Gynecology, among many others.

*For a complete list, visit www.jiahui.com, or follow our WeChat public account at “Jiahui-Health-Eng”.

A few simple and practical steps can help ensure that your child stays safe during this difficult time. The staff at Jiahui are always available to answer any questions and address any concerns you may have.

We even offer an online consultation service for those who are unable to reach our facilities. Simply scan the QR code below to sign up and chat with our international medical team Mon-Sat, 9:00-18:00.
