• Kufanele ukhathazeke kangakanani ngokuthi i-coronavirus ihamba ngezicathulo zakho?

Imikhuba yakho yokuvimbela i-coronavirus mhlawumbe ingeyesibili ngalesi sikhathi: geza izandla zakho njalo, gcoba isikhala sendawo yakho (kufaka phakathi okuthengayo kanye ne-takeout), ukuzijwayeza ukuqhela emphakathini. Kepha uma uke wazibuza ukuthi i-coronavirus ingahamba yini ezicathulweni zakho—futhi, uma ingakwazi, noma lokho kusho ukuthi izicathulo ezisendlini ziwu-cha omkhulu—ucwaningo olusha lungasikhanyisela.

Ukuvuselela: Njengamanje, i-main (funda: akuyona yodwa) imizila yokudluliselwa kwe-coronavirus kuthiwa ngamaconsi okuphefumula ahamba ngokukhwehlela nangokuthimula kanye nokuthintana ngqo ngokomzimba nomuntu onaleli gciwane (ngisho noma bengenazo izimpawu ezisobala ze-coronavirus). Leli gciwane lingaphila futhi ezindaweni ezithile, yize kunemibiko engqubuzanayo yokuthi leli gciwane lingaphila isikhathi esingakanani ngaphandle komzimba womuntu nokuthi le ndlela yokudluliselwa kwe-coronavirus ijwayelekile yini.

Ukuthola okwengeziwe, abacwaningi baseWuhan, eChina bahlole amasampula omoya ambalwa nangaphezulu egunjini labagula kakhulu (ICU) kanye newodi elijwayelekile le-COVID-19 esibhedlela saseHuoshenshan. Phakathi kukaFebhuwari 19 noMashi 2, abacwaningi baqoqa amasampula e-surface swab ezintweni ezingangcoliswa njengephansi, amagundane ekhompiyutha, amathini kadoti, izibambo zokubopha esibhedlela, izifihla-buso ezibhekene neziguli, imishini yokuvikela abasebenzi yezempilo (PPE), kanye nomoya wasendlini kanye amasampula wokungenisa umoya. Mhlawumbe ngokungamangazi, imiphumela, eshicilelwe ephephandabeni leCenters for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Izifo Ezithathelwanayo Eziqhamukayo, ibonise ukuthi amaningi alawa masampuli ahlolwe ukuthi ane-COVID-19—kodwa phansi kubonakala kuyi-hotspot evamile, ngandlela-thile ebingalindelekile.

Ukuyidiliza ngokuqhubekayo, amaphesenti angama-70 amasampula aphansi athathwe e-ICU yesibhedlela ahlolwe etholakele ene-COVID-19, uma kuqhathaniswa namaphesenti angama-15 amasampula ejwayelekile e-COVID-19, ngokusho kwemiphumela yocwaningo. Abaphenyi babhala ephepheni labo ukuthi lokhu kungenzeka kungenxa "yamandla adonsela phansi nokuhamba komoya" okwenze ukuthi amaconsi egciwane antante phansi. Babuye baphawula nokuthi inani eliphakeme lamasampuli aphansi e-COVID-19-positive lenze umqondo njengoba abasebenzi kuzo zombili lezi zindawo belapha iziguli ezine-coronavirus.

Futhi, akumangazi ukuthi izindawo ezivame ukuthintwa — ingasaphathwa eyezimo zesibhedlela — njengamagundane ekhompyutha, izibambo zombhede wasesibhedlela, nezimaski zobuso zivame ukutholakala zine-COVID-19-positive ocwaningweni. Kepha okwabamangaza ngempela abacwaningi yilokho Amaphesenti ayi-100 amasampula e-floor swab ekhemisi lesibhedlela - lapho bekungekho ziguli nhlobo, ngokocwaningo - kuhlolwe ukuthi une-COVID-19. Okusho ukuthi, kungenzeka ukuthi leli gciwane "lalandelela phansi" ebhilidini lesibhedlela, noma okungenani lapho abasebenzi basesibhedlela abelapha iziguli ezine-COVID-19 babehamba khona (kucatshangwa ukuthi abasebenzi babegqoka izicathulo ezifanayo isikhathi sonke), abacwaningi babhala isifundo sabo. "Ngaphezu kwalokho, uhhafu wamasampula asezicathulweni zezicathulo zabasebenzi bezokwelapha e-ICU ahlolwe etholakele," kubhala ababhali bocwaningo. "Ngakho-ke, izicathulo zezicathulo zabasebenzi bezokwelapha zingase zisebenze njengabathwali." Ngokusekelwe kulokhu okutholakele, abacwaningi batusa ukuthi abantu babulale amagciwane amasoli ezicathulo zabo ngaphambi kokuphuma ezindaweni ezinabantu abane-COVID-19.

Kubhekwana eceleni, amaphesenti angama-35 ama-ICU amasampula omoya wasendlini kanye namaphesenti angama-67 wamasampula we-ICU air vent ahlolwe elungile nge-COVID-19, ngokwemiphumela yocwaningo. Amasampula athathwe esigcemeni esijwayelekile se-COVID-19 abonakala emancane amathuba okuthi ahlolwe ukuthi analo yini, ngamaphesenti ayi-12.5 amasampula omoya kanye namaphesenti angama-8.3 ​​ama-air vent swabs akhombisa iminonjana yaleli gciwane. "Le miphumela iqinisekisa ukuthi i-SARS-CoV-2 [igciwane elibangela i-COVID-19] libeka engcupheni," kufunda leli phepha. Kepha i-FTR: Ngokuvamile, ochwepheshe ababonakali bevumelana ngokulingana Kanjani Ukudluliswa kwegciwane okuyingozi emoyeni, ikakhulukazi uma kuqhathaniswa neminye imizila esuselwa ebufakazini yokudluliswa kwe-coronavirus. Okwamanje, iWorld Health Organisation (WHO) ithi abukho ubufakazi obanele bokuqinisekisa ukuthi i-COVID-19 ihamba emoyeni. (Okuhlobene: Abahlanzeli Bomoya Abangu-7 Abagcina Umoya Wakho Uhlanzekile)

Kufanele ukhathazeke kangakanani ngokuthi i-coronavirus ihamba ngezicathulo zakho?

Okokuqala nje, kubalulekile ukugcizelela ukuthi lolu cwaningo olusha lwenziwa esibhedlela ebelaphe isibalo esiphezulu seziguli ezine-COVID-19. "Izibhedlela, ikakhulukazi i-ICU, zinenani eliphakeme kakhulu legciwane uma liqhathaniswa nezinye izindawo, ngakho-ke akukhona ukuhlobana okuqondile nezwe langaphandle," kusho uPurvi Parikh, MD, udokotela wezingane, udokotela wezifo zamasosha omzimba kanye nelungu lePhysicians for Patient Protection. yemiphumela yocwaningo.

Sekushiwo lokho, lolu cwaningo lukhombisa ukuthi igciwane lingasakazeka kalula kangakanani, ingasaphathwa eyokuthi lungakanani ulwazi olusha olufundwa ngabacwaningi nsuku zonke mayelana ne-coronavirus — yingakho ukuthatha izinyathelo ezithile zokuphepha ukuze uphephe (yebo, njengokungafaki izicathulo endlini) empeleni akuwona umqondo omubi, kuchaza uDkt. Parikh.

Futhi, ucwaningo ngokudluliswa kwezinye izinhlobo zama-coronaviruses lukhombisa ukuthi la magciwane angahlala ezindaweni eziningi-kufaka phakathi amakhadibhodi, upulasitiki, nensimbi, phakathi kwezinye — noma kuphi phakathi kwezinsuku ezimbili kuya kweziyisishiyagalolunye, kusho uMary E. Schmidt, MD, MPH , ingcweti eqinisekiswe yibhodi eqinisekisiwe yezifo ezithathelwanayo. Ngokusekelwe kulokho okutholakele, "kunethuba lokuthi i-coronavirus [inoveli] ingahlala ezicathulweni noma ezicathulweni" (ikakhulukazi amasoli ezicathulo, uyaphawula) amahora noma izinsuku ngesikhathi; kusesekuseni kakhulu ukwazi ngokweqiniso, uyachaza.

Kodwa kusukela manje, amathuba okuthi uhudulele i-COVID-19 emzini wakho usuka ezitolo zegrosa noma emigwaqweni engaphandle nasezindleleni zomgwaqo aphansi, kusho uDkt. Schmidt. Noma kunjalo, uma ufuna ukwenza iphutha ohlangothini oluphephile, uncoma ukuthi ungagqoki izicathulo ekhaya futhi uthathe izinyathelo zokuqapha ezilandelayo:

• Qaphela ngenkathi ususa izicathulo zakho. Uma ukwazi ukwenza kanjalo, zama ukuthi ungazithinti nhlobo izicathulo zakho lapho uzikhumula, kusikisela uDkt. Schmidt. "Uyakwazi ukungcolisa izandla zakho noma okokugqoka uma uzithinta noma uzama ukuzesula," kuchaza yena. Yiqiniso, ezimweni eziningi kulula ukukusho kunokukwenza—ngakho-ke, noma kunjalo, qiniseka ukuthi ugeza izandla zakho ngokushesha ngemva kokususa izicathulo ezinyaweni zakho, uyanezela.
• Hlanza izicathulo zakho njalo. Ukuze uhlanze izicathulo zakho, fafaza phezulu naphansi ngomkhiqizo wokuhlanza i-coronavirus ogunyazwe yi-CDC, vumela isibulala-magciwane sihlale isikhathi esingangomzuzu, bese wesula bese ugeza izandla ngokushesha, kusho uDkt. Schmidt. Ezicathulweni ezingangena emshinini wokuwasha, zigeze njalo usebenzisa ukushisa okuphezulu, okungase kusize ukubulala iminonjana ye-coronavirus, kusho yena.

• Yiba nezicathulo ezikhethiwe zasendlini nezangaphandle. Noma, futhi, cabanga ukungazigqoki izicathulo nhlobo endlini. Kunoma ikuphi, uDkt. Schmidt uncoma ukunamathela esicathulweni esisodwa noma ezimbili kuphela zezicathulo ngokujwayelekile. "Beka izicathulo ephepheni futhi ukhumbule ukuhlanza phansi ngaphansi kwezicathulo njengoba kudingeka," uyanezela.

Imininingwane ekule ndaba inembile njengesikhathi sokushicilela. Njengoba izibuyekezo ezimayelana ne-coronavirus COVID-19 ziqhubeka nokuvela, kungenzeka ukuthi eminye imininingwane nezincomo kule ndaba zishintshile selokhu kwashicilelwa okokuqala. Sikukhuthaza ukuthi uhlole njalo izinsiza ezifana ne-CDC, i-WHO, kanye nomnyango wezempilo womphakathi wendawo ukuze uthole imininingwane yakamuva nezincomo.
