How to prevent Middle East respiratory syndrome?

First, because eating raw or undercooked animal products (such as milk and meat) is very easy to suffer from Middle East syndrome, animal products properly treated by cooking or pasteurization can be safely eaten, but they also need to be handled carefully to avoid cross contamination with uncooked food.

Second: workers in camel farms and slaughterhouses should have good personal hygiene habits, such as washing hands after contacting animals, feasible facial protection and wearing protective clothing (need to take off and wash every day after work). Workers should also avoid exposing family members to dirty work clothes, shoes or other items contaminated by camels or camel excreta.

Third: when nurses treat or nurse patients with symptoms of acute respiratory tract infection, they should not only adopt standard protective measures, but also strengthen preventive measures, so as to avoid contamination with patients' droplets. Because in the examination or treatment of such patients, some liquid or solid particles are often suspended in the air, so we should wear special masks and other air protection measures
