The Provincial Center for Disease Control and Prevention issued a reminder: the public should take personal protection when receiving international express delivery

At present, the global COVID-19 continues to spread, coupled with the low temperature in winter, the survival time of the virus is prolonged, and the risk of international mail and express delivery is increasing. Recently, there have been many cases in my country of contracting the new coronavirus due to contact with overseas mail and express delivery. Hainan's construction of a free trade port has gradually become more frequent, and with the Spring Festival approaching, residents' online shopping and overseas shopping for New Year's goods have also increased. In order to prevent the spread of the epidemic through postal express channels, and to effectively control and reduce the risk of the spread of the epidemic, the Hainan Provincial Center for Disease Control and Prevention reminds:

The public should take personal protection when receiving international express delivery. During the period of high outbreak of foreign epidemics, it is not necessary to mail order overseas goods from high-risk countries and regions abroad. When receiving international express, please wear disposable medical masks and disposable gloves correctly. After picking up and dismantling parts, wash hands and disinfect in time. Take delivery as contactless as possible. If you need to sign in person, please keep a safe distance from the courier. When dismantling the parts, try to do it in an outdoor ventilated place, and disinfect the inner and outer packaging with chlorine-containing disinfectant or 75% alcohol. When spraying alcohol for disinfection, be sure to pay attention to safety to prevent fire. The packaging, used masks and gloves of international express items should be disinfected with disinfectant and then sorted into household garbage, and wash hands and disinfected in time.
