Public Transportation Prevention and Control

Public transportation features large flow of people, complex personnel source, and high possibility of close contact. It is difficult to prevent the spread of disease by only taking disinfection measures to cut off the transmission route. Measures such as strengthening personnel management, environmental sanitation and disinfection, and health education should be taken to ensure the safety and health of passengers.

The NHC provided recommendations on hygienic protection of public transportation such as planes, trains, subways, buses and ships in the Guidebook on Public Prevention of Novel Coronavirus-infected Pneumonia released on January 27. On January 29, the Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism of the State Council issued a notice on applying the Technical Guidelines for Disinfection of Public Transportation, which provided disinfection suggestions of cars, trains, planes and ships to prevent the spread of the novel coronavirus through vehicles.

The suggestions included: 

* On-duty staff of public transportation in epidemic areas should wear surgical or N95 masks, and carry out daily health monitoring; 

* Public transportation should have thermometers, masks and other items on them; 

* Increase the frequency of cleaning and disinfection of public transportation, and make records and identification; 

* Maintain good ventilation; 

* Keep the station and carriage clean and tidy, and clean up the garbage in time; 

* Schedule proper personnel work and rotating shifts to ensure the crew get enough rest.

公共交通工具防控

公共交通工具具有人流量大、人員來(lái)源復(fù)雜、密切接觸可能性大等特點(diǎn),僅僅靠采取消毒措施切斷傳播途徑來(lái)預(yù)防疾病傳播具有較大難度。因此,應(yīng)通過(guò)加強(qiáng)人員管理、環(huán)境衛(wèi)生及消毒、健康宣教等措施,保障公共交通工具上人員的安全健康。

國(guó)家衛(wèi)生健康委在2020年1月27日發(fā)布的《新型冠狀病毒感染的肺炎防控公眾預(yù)防指南匯編》中,對(duì)飛機(jī)、火車、地鐵、公共汽車和輪船等公共交通工具的衛(wèi)生防護(hù)提供措施建議。1月29日,國(guó)務(wù)院應(yīng)對(duì)新型冠肺炎疫情聯(lián)防聯(lián)控機(jī)制印發(fā)《公共交通工具消毒操作技術(shù)指南的通知》,指導(dǎo)汽車、火車、飛機(jī)、輪船等公共交通工具做好消毒工作,防止新冠肺炎通過(guò)交通工具傳播和擴(kuò)散。

公共交通工具防控建議主要包括:發(fā)生疾病流行地區(qū)的公共交通工具在崗工作人員應(yīng)佩戴醫(yī)用外科口罩或N95口罩,并每日做好健康監(jiān)測(cè);公共交通工具建議備置體溫計(jì)、口罩等物品;增加公共交通工具清潔與消毒頻次,做好清潔消毒工作記錄和標(biāo)識(shí);保持公共交通工具良好的通風(fēng)狀態(tài);保持車站、車廂內(nèi)的衛(wèi)生整潔,及時(shí)清理垃圾;做好人員工作與輪休安排,確保司乘人員得到足夠休息。
