He said that supermarkets, vegetable markets and other public places are relatively closed, people are easy to gather, and there is a great risk of epidemic spread, which is the focus and difficulty of community epidemic prevention and control. In the past, many epidemics were spread and infected in these places.

It is necessary to strictly implement the epidemic prevention management in public places. Under the current situation that the social situation is not completely cleared, citizens should strictly do personal protection when going shopping, and prepare protective equipment such as masks and disinfectants. It is best to list the purchase list in advance and strictly control the number of people who go out to purchase. It is recommended that infants and the elderly try not to participate in shopping. Choose the nearest shopping spot, travel at the wrong peak, and try to avoid taking public transport. It is recommended to choose travel modes such as self-driving, cycling and walking.

When entering the vegetable market, supermarkets and other public places, you should cooperate with epidemic prevention measures such as temperature measurement and code inspection, wear a mask all the time, avoid pulling down the mask to communicate with the stall owner or taste food, and do not touch your eyes, mouth and nose directly with your hands. You should quickly select materials according to the list to minimize the stay time. Don’t go to the shelves and stalls where people gather, try to choose self-checkout and contactless payment to keep a safe social distance of more than one meter from others.

After purchasing, the used masks should be put into the relevant trash can, and hand disinfection should be done in time. If the packaging is suspected of being contaminated, disinfection should be done.
