How do college students do personal protection while in school?

All students should pay attention to hygiene

First of all, all students should consciously conduct health monitoring in accordance with school regulations, maintain an appropriate amount of exercise every day, choosing open spaces, and avoiding crowds for outdoor exercise. Once you have a fever or cough and other uncomfortable symptoms, you should report to the teacher as soon as possible, and follow the school's regulations for centralized health management and consultation.

Also, all students are not allowed to leave school at will during epidemic prevention and control to avoid crowds, especially places with poor air mobility. However, if you must leave the school for some reason, you should strictly follow the leave procedures, plan the travel route and travel method. When you are outside, choose stairs or escalators as far as possible, and keep a distance of more than one meter away from others, and avoid facing directly with others. Meanwhile, if you take the elevator, you should keep as far away as possible from the others, spread the stairs, and avoid too many people on the same elevator.

Bedding and personal clothing should be dried regularly and washed regularly

Moreover, all students should pay attention to hygiene, washing hands frequently. At the same time, you should wash hands before eating, after using the restroom, after touching garbage, returning back, using sports equipment, school computers, and other public items. After touching animals or before touching susceptible parts of your body, such as eyes, you should also wash hands with more than 20 seconds. When you are washing hands, please use soap or disinfectant hand sanitizer, under flowing water, and wash your hands thoroughly. Nonetheless, if you are inconvenient to wash your hands under running water, you can also rub your hands with a quick-drying hand disinfectant.

All students should maintain good eating habits, do not organize gathering dinners, line up for meals at the peaks of the student canteen, having meals separately

Furthermore, make sure the dormitory is cleaned regularly, and windows are often opened for ventilation to keep the indoor air fresh and circulated. Bedding and personal clothing should be dried regularly and washed regularly.
