What are the prevention methods for Middle East Respiratory Syndrome

Many people must still remember the Middle East Respiratory Syndrome that once caused panic among the people. This disease, with a mortality rate of 27%, once made many people shudder when they heard its name. After contracting the disease, people generally experience fever, cough, difficulty breathing, etc., and some patients may also experience renal failure. According to research, the transmission route of Middle East Respiratory Syndrome has not been fully determined so far. The preliminary judgment is that it is transmitted through contact between people. There is no vaccine or effective treatment for Middle East Respiratory Syndrome. Now let’s talk about the prevention methods of Middle East Respiratory Syndrome.

1. Prevention of Middle East Respiratory Syndrome

1. As far as we know, close contact is the most common way of transmission. Shaking hands, eating, talking, etc. may all lead to the spread of the disease. In addition, if protective measures are not taken when visiting patients or if the disease is relatively easy to spread in the hospital, it is still relatively easy to spread the disease.

2. First of all, try to avoid close contact with sick patients, because close contact is still the biggest route of transmission.

3. Try to wear a mask when going out. When choosing a mask, you should choose a suitable medical mask or a mask with good protective measures. Avoid some respiratory patients from spreading the virus to you.

4. Try to avoid crowded places. Crowded areas will result in poor air circulation, making it easier for the virus to spread. When interacting and talking with others, it is easier to come into contact with the other person's saliva and other substances that may contain the virus. When you go out, you should also keep the air circulating in your home, and when you drive, you should also keep the air circulating in your car.

5. Do not eat raw camel meat or drink raw camel milk. Some say that the virus originated from camels, which are more common in the deserts of the Middle East, but it is still difficult to see camels in our mainland. Just pay attention to this.

6. Maintain healthy living habits and good personal hygiene habits. If you exercise well and have a healthy physique, the probability of being infected is relatively low. It is most important to wash your hands when you go out and come in, and developing good hygiene habits.

2. Symptoms of Middle East Respiratory Syndrome

1. Simply put, Middle East Respiratory Syndrome is a respiratory disease caused by a coronavirus. This virus is very powerful and can cause serious illness in humans, ranging from the common cold to acute respiratory disease, which can be life-threatening in severe cases.

2. Most patients who are infected with this disease will show severe symptoms of respiratory diseases, such as fever, cough, shortness of breath, etc. Some will also have gastrointestinal problems. If the above situation occurs, go to the hospital for treatment immediately.
