Why don t you give infusions during the pandemic

The reason for not giving infusions during the epidemic is to prevent infection and transmission of the epidemic.

The novel coronavirus is mainly transmitted through respiratory and droplet contact. If you go to the hospital at this time, you will increase the chance of infection. There are three important factors in the spread of the new coronavirus: the source of infection, the transmission route, and the susceptible population.

Therefore, prevention should be carried out from these three aspects, and the patient should be isolated and separated from normal people. It is also necessary to cut off the transmission route, because the new coronavirus is airborne, windows should be opened frequently for ventilation, indoor air should be kept clean, masks, goggles, gloves, etc., should be worn to prevent contact with the secretions or aerosols of coronavirus patients to transmit the coronavirus.

The measures to prevent the new coronavirus are as follows:

1. Maintain good personal and environmental hygiene, wash hands frequently, wear masks, implement the chopsticks system, cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when sneezing or coughing, and keep your home and workplace well ventilated.

2. Ensure adequate rest and sleep, avoid excessive fatigue, balance nutrition, and exercise moderately.

3. Try to minimize unnecessary outings, do not gather, and maintain social distancing.

Those who have been to high-risk areas within days or have a history of contact with confirmed patients or suspected cases should take the initiative to self-isolate and take the initiative to conduct nucleic acid testing for the new coronavirus.

5. If you have respiratory symptoms such as fever, sore throat and cough, go to a nearby hospital for treatment.

Article 39 of the Law of the People's Republic of China on the Prevention and Treatment of Infectious Diseases When medical institutions discover Class A infectious diseases, they shall take the following measures in a timely manner:

1) Isolate patients and pathogen carriers**, and the isolation period is determined on the basis of the results of medical examinations;

2) For suspected patients, isolate them in a designated place before they are confirmed**;

3) Conduct medical observation and take other necessary preventive measures in designated places for patients, pathogen carriers, and close contacts of suspected patients in medical establishments.

Where they refuse to be isolated** or leave isolation without authorization before the quarantine period has expired, the public security organs may assist the medical establishments in employing compulsory isolation** measures.

When medical establishments discover patients with Class B or C infectious diseases, they shall take necessary measures to control the spread of infectious diseases according to their conditions.

Medical institutions must disinfect and harmlessly dispose of places, articles and medical waste contaminated by infectious disease pathogens in their units in accordance with the provisions of laws and regulations.

Article 42 When an infectious disease breaks out or becomes prevalent, the local people at or above the county level shall immediately organize forces to prevent and control the disease in accordance with the prevention and control plan, cut off the transmission routes of the infectious disease, and when necessary, report to the people at the next higher level for decision, and may take the following emergency measures and make an announcement:

When a higher-level people** receives a report from a lower-level people** on the adoption of the emergency measures listed in the preceding paragraph, they shall immediately make a decision.

The lifting of emergency measures is to be decided and announced by the organ that made the original decision.

<>I don't know the specifics and policies during the pandemic, but from a healthcare standpoint, there could be a variety of reasons for not giving infusions. Some patients may not be able to receive infusions because they are not too sick, or the lack of medical resources may lead doctors to choose to use infusions cautiously to ensure proper distribution and use. In addition, for certain illnesses, such as a mild cold or cough, infusions may not be needed and may increase the risk of infection.

Therefore, the specific situation depends on the condition and medical policy and should be done on the advice of a doctor**.
