How to protect yourself in the face of the pandemic? Have you gone to work?

Hoeing the crops under the midday sun – it’s so hard to sleep! I slept all morning and still have the afternoon ahead. I keep sleeping at night; it’s too painful. I sleep in the morning, in the afternoon, and again at night ； Sleep today, sleep tomorrow, and still need to sleep the day after that ； Sleep for the country, and sleep in peace. . I’d rather gain some weight than wander around outside. Gaining weight means being well-provided; wandering aimlessly brings disaster. I advise you to follow the rules and always remember to love yourself. I stay at home, and I’m proud of it; I’m doing this to save masks – go China! Good morning, dear friends

The epidemic is an order; prevention and control are responsibilities. Faced with the serious situation of the accelerating spread of pneumonia caused by the novel coronavirus, we must fully recognize the importance and urgency of preventing and controlling the epidemic. We should treat epidemic prevention and control as the top priority at present, and see it as an important opportunity to improve mechanisms and enhance capabilities. By closely integrating emergency management functions, we must focus on prevention and control internally and on coordination externally, in order to resolutely win the battle against the epidemic. It is necessary to further enhance risk awareness. The pandemic is advancing rapidly; no one and no organization can stay indifferent or take it lightly. Faced with this common enemy, it is essential to adhere to the principles of \"it is better to assume nine out of ten defenses will fail than to risk a single failure,\" \"it is better to believe there is a threat than to assume none exists,\" and \"it is better to assume the threat is serious than to think it is minor.\" We must view problems more seriously, assess risks more thoroughly, seal off vulnerabilities more tightly, and formulate more comprehensive prevention and control measures. During intense battles and critical periods, we must never allow carelessness to put ourselves at risk, nor must we allow small risks to turn into large ones, or local risks to evolve into systemic risks. It is necessary to further strengthen responsibility for prevention and control. All departments and units within the system must earnestly implement the decision-making and deployment led by Comrade ** as the core, conduct a scientific assessment of the situation, accurately understand the epidemic situation, and ensure unified leadership, command, and action in order to guarantee that all tasks are carried out thoroughly. Leading cadres, especially those in key positions, must remain at their posts and provide direct supervision, going to the front lines to ensure that they take responsibility for their areas of duty and fulfill their obligations accordingly. Grassroots Party organizations and Party members and cadres must fully play their roles as battlement forts and role models, widely mobilize, organize, and unite the masses, fully implement joint prevention and control measures, and build a people’s defense line for collective prevention and control. Severe accountability must be enforced for failures to fulfill responsibilities, inadequate prevention and control measures, shirking of duties, and perfunctory performance. Further efforts are needed to spread knowledge. Fear and panic often stem from ignorance and the unknown; it is therefore crucial to promote knowledge about pandemic prevention. Significant progress has been made in the informatization of emergency management systems, which are now entering the era of big data; there are also a great variety of promotional channels and platforms available. Building on the initial efforts of providing education and answering questions, we need to step up efforts to disseminate knowledge about epidemic prevention, enhancing the reach, impact, and guiding power of such communications. It is important not only to help the public understand \"what is happening\", but also to let them know \"what to do\", so that they can master scientific methods for fighting the virus and dealing with the epidemic, thereby strengthening their awareness of self-protection and their confidence in society. It is necessary to further serve the overall efforts in prevention and control. The emergency management department undertakes the sacred mission of \"saving people from disasters and hardships, assisting them in times of crisis, and giving them strength.\" It must leverage its institutional mechanisms and professional strengths, focus its efforts on key areas, and take targeted actions to effectively support the overall efforts in preventing and controlling the epidemic across the country. If necessary for handling the pandemic, actively participate in joint prevention and control efforts, organize rescue resources in a scientific manner, and complete all tasks assigned by the Party committee and ** safely and efficiently ； Focus on the development of hospitals dedicated to providing such services, and implement fire safety measures in a comprehensive manner to prevent secondary problems from arising ； Manage designated hospitals for services, enhance fire safety services, and strengthen safety measures in crowded places ； Provide specific safety guidance and support to enterprises that work overtime to produce epidemic prevention materials such as masks, protective clothing, alcohol, and disinfectants, ensuring safe production. One must do one’s own tasks better. Effectively preventing and mitigating major security risks is our significant political responsibility. Doing one’s own job well, eliminating one more potential hazard, and preventing one more accident constitutes strong support and a significant contribution to winning the battle against the epidemic. For enterprises such as those dealing with hazardous chemicals and coal mines that continue to operate during holidays, it is necessary to pay close attention to the weak points and strengthen targeted inspections and supervision ； For enterprises that resume production and operations after the holiday, factors such as extended holidays and insufficient start-up activity should be fully taken into account to carry out thorough inspections for potential hidden problems and to implement effective risk prevention measures. All regions should carry out their work creatively in light of local conditions, think in advance about possible new situations and problems, effectively respond to various emergencies, take proactive measures, and strive to create a favorable safety environment to win the battle against the epidemic. The vast number of staff and workers in emergency management possess the excellent qualities of being loyal to the Party, strict in discipline, willing to face any challenges, and dedicated to serving the people; they are a force in which the Party and the people can have full trust. We firmly believe that under the strong leadership of ****, as long as we maintain confidence, work together, adopt scientific approaches to prevention and control, and implement targeted measures, we will surely be able to deliver an excellent outcome in the fight against the epidemic.

Mask Knowledge 2: What are the differences in the certification levels of N95, KN95, and FFP2 masks? N95 is a certification standard for respirators in the United States, issued by the U.S. **National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH)**. Respirators with N95 certification have a filtration efficiency of at least 95% against non-oil-based particulates, and the mask must bear the labels “NIOSH” and “N95” ； KN95 is a respirator certification grade that meets China’s mandatory standard GB2626-2006. Respirators with KN95 certification have a filtration efficiency of no less than 95% against non-oil-based particulates, and the label “GB2626-2006 KN95” must be displayed on them ； FFP2 is the CE certification grade for respirators that meet the European EN149 standard. Respirators certified as FFP2 have a filtration efficiency of at least 94% against both oily and non-oily particles, and the mask must bear the inscription “EN 149:2001+A1:2009 FFP2”. All of these respirators (protective masks) are designed to fit tightly against the face so that air passes through the mask’s filtering material rather than leaking in from the edges of the mask. All certified masks are produced within a specified quality standard system.

Obey management and follow commands! !
