Dear foreign experts, friends:
Hainan now is concerned with the outbreak of COVID-19. Resolute efforts are being made by the government to curb the spread of the virus and more stringent measures are being taken. Hereby, we would like to make following suggestions for all foreign experts and friends in Hainan:
I. Follow authoritative information. Please refer to Hainan FAO for updated information on the epidemic, preventive and treatment guide. If you have any questions, please call 24-hour hotline: 12345 or 12320, for further information.
II. Strengthen self-protection. Maintain good personal hygiene by washing hands often with soap or alcohol-based sanitizer. Cover your coughs or sneezes with a tissue. No spitting. Dispose of used masks according to regulations. Keep your room properly ventilated and clean. Avoid close contact with any wild animal or poultry. Eggs and meat should be thoroughly cooked. Drink more hot water.
III. Minimize outdoor activities. Avoid crowded places, parties and group activities. Correctly wear a mask if you have to go and attend one. If you have mild to severe respiratory infection symptoms such as fever, cough, breathing difficulty or fatigue, please go to a designated hospital with a mask on.
IV. Cooperate in the joint preventive and control efforts. If you have visited an infected area (now back to Hainan) or had contact with people who are from an epidemic area, please closely observe your health condition and stay at home. If you feel uncomfortable, please report to the local disease control authorities or designated departments. Please cooperate with government or community personnel or medical staff if they inquire about your condition.
Hainan is our common home. Let’s work together for the prevention and control of the epidemic and safeguard the health of all Chinese and non-Chinese citizens in Hainan.
