阻止COVID-19大流行的最佳方法之一是所谓的“社会隔离”。限制人与人之间的联系如何抑制COVID-19的传播?在您的日常生活中采取这种措施意味着什么?
2019年3月15日,西里尔·拉马福萨总统宣布与COVID-19的传播有关的南非“国家灾难状态”。需要作出此决定,以使政府能够采取措施来打击Covid-19在该国的蔓延。总统列出的许多措施属于预防性类别,称为“社会隔离”。 什么是社会疏离? Discovery Health临床卓越中心负责人Noluthando Nematswerani博士说:“社会疏远是指故意增加人与人之间的物理空间以避免疾病传播。” “通过与其他人保持至少1.5米的距离,您减少了与COVID-19联系的机会。” 请记住,COVID-19通过以下方式迅速传播: 咳嗽或打喷嚏后的空气-如果人们站在患病者的一米范围内,则可以通过吸入病者咳嗽或呼出的颗粒物来感染COVID-19 亲密接触,例如握手或触摸他人时 触摸发现病毒的物体或表面(病人在咳嗽或呼气后靠近这些物体或表面,例如桌子,桌子或电话),然后-在洗手之前-触摸其嘴,鼻子或眼睛 “最终的目标是打破COVID-19病毒的传播链,每个与社会保持距离的人都会为打破这种疾病的传播链提供机会,” Nematswerani博士补充说。 社会疏远的例子包括: 居家办公 待在家里而不是在其他场所社交 关闭学校和大学并改用在线课程 避免在任何情况下都会成为大批人群的一部分–音乐会,戏剧,体育赛事,拥挤的购物中心,体育馆和公共交通 取消和推迟大型活动 在接下来的几个月中,请不要在有高获取COVID-19风险的健身房执行。而是在户外训练,并使用健身器材追踪您的锻炼并赚取Discovery Miles。散步,去远足 如果您发现COVID-19的症状并保护其他人免受该疾病的侵害,请通过Discovery应用程序与您的医生进行电话咨询(电话)虚拟咨询 在短期内选择与亲人进行虚拟拜访–视频通话。如果您没有症状,您仍然可以看到家人,但会减少探访的频率,并确保取消大型家庭活动 避免去商店和繁忙的购物中心。在线或通过电话订购您的食品和药品,以便将它们交付给您 不与他人握手,并限制亲吻或拥抱他人。避免其他形式的身体接触 当您访问餐馆,杂货店或药房,教堂或旅行时,请采取预防措施。 因COVID-19而导致严重并发症和死亡的高风险人群-65岁以上的人群,慢性健康状况或免疫系统较弱的人群-应将自己限制在较小的社交聚会上,并尽量呆在家里。 什么是大局? 总统在讲话中补充说:“至关重要的是,通过限制人群之间的接触,将这种病毒传播的风险降至最低。当前的情况需要采取特殊措施来遏制感染的蔓延。那些听取了执行这些激进措施的呼吁的国家,比没有采取行动的国家要好得多。”因此,当地和国际旅行禁令已经到位,禁止聚会100人以上,全国性的庆祝活动已取消,学校从2020年3月18日起关闭,直到复活节周末结束,依此类推。 这些措施旨在“平滑曲线”-减慢COVID-19的传播。这很关键。 “如果我们能够减慢COVID-19的传播速度,我们将确保我们的医疗保健系统能够满足通常的医疗保健需求,以及已感染COVID-19而又不会感到不知所措的患者的新需求。通过这种方式,患者可以获得所需的治疗,需要这些资源的人可以使用,从而挽救了生命。如果传播迅速并且医疗保健系统被COVID-19病例所淹没,那么资源很可能会在许多同时患病的人群中分散传播,并可能导致不必要的死亡。”

在南非爆发冠状病毒(COVID-19)之后,我们了解到人们对此表示关注。在这样的时期,一个人需要做的最后一件事就是担心一个人是否被覆盖。 Momentum重申我们的客户得到了保障,保护和支持-与他们选择的特定医疗计划和人寿保险产品保持一致。
动量人寿保险让您高枕无忧 我们向客户保证,在冠状病毒方面,我们无数的人寿保险利益(寿险,重大疾病险和伤残险)不存在任何例外。这意味着无论病毒如何以及他们曾去过或打算去往何处,我们的客户的保障都保持不变。我们将继续支付所有有效索赔。 Momentum Health动量医疗计划涵盖 1.冠状病毒被覆盖 动量医疗计划将支付确诊的COVID-19病例的诊断和治疗费用。如果确诊的成员有症状且需要根据COVID-19的世界卫生组织(WHO)和美国国家传染病研究所(NICD)协议进行住院治疗,我们将为私人住院治疗提供保险。 2.治疗符合WHO和NICD方案 南非是世界卫生组织的一部分,我们根据国际协议管理流行病。与世界卫生组织密切合作的国家传染病预防中心为我们国家管理着这种情况。这意味着对于任何接受测试的患者,拭子样本都需要发送到NICD认可的实验室。根据这些测试的结果,NICD将为每位患者以及治疗医生推荐医疗程序。如果该成员被感染并表现出症状,他们可能建议隔离,最有可能在患者家中。但是,NICD还在每个省建立了医院来协助患者并管理检疫过程。但是,动量医疗计划成员可以使用任何符合NICD规定的隔离和治疗要求/协议的私立医院。 3.通过您的雇主获得医疗保险 对于向其员工提供动量健康保险解决方案的企业雇主团体,这些雇员还应在其福利范围内接受病毒治疗。 4.免费获得Momentum Health医疗计划会员的Hello Doctor – 24/7 Hello Doctor为由Momentum Health Solutions管理的大多数医疗计划的成员提供免费手机,并通过数字方式与合格的医生进行24 / 7、365的访问。这是让任何成员了解病毒的症状,治疗和预防方法的理想工具例如电晕。 5.信息获取 重要的是要防止而不是相信错误的信息。 WHO和NICD继续提供有关该病毒及其在全球传播方式的宝贵见解和更新。他们专门的网站是一个很好的信息来源,它告诉我们主要症状是发烧,干咳和疲劳,之后常常是肌肉酸痛,鼻塞和喉咙痛-与流感症状非常相似。他们的数据向我们显示,全世界感染该病毒的大多数人都患有轻度疾病。 有些成员感染病毒的风险较高,并且症状可能更严重。免疫系统受损的任何人,例如老年人和患有慢性疾病或肺部疾病的人,都将处于较高的风险中。 请执行以下步骤以最大程度地减少感染冠状病毒的机会: •首先是要定期洗手。 •请勿触摸眼睛,鼻子和嘴巴。 •重新考虑您的旅行安排,尤其是到已经报告有病毒爆发的国家。 •寻找错误的信息来源,例如WHO,因为错误信息比以往任何时候都更为普遍。 动量将继续按照美国国家传染病研究所(NICD)制定的准则监视局势,我们将继续为您提供最新信息。我们告诫我们的客户和所有南非人不要提供虚假信息。 原文: Coronavirus: Momentum provides support Following the outbreak of the coronavirus (COVID-19) in South Africa, we understand that people are concerned. During times like these, the last thing a person needs is to worry about whether one is covered. Momentum reaffirms that our clients are covered, protected and supported – aligned to the specific medical scheme and life insurance products they selected. Peace of mind with Momentum Life Insurance We reassure our clients that there are no exclusions on any of our Myriad life insurance benefits (life-, critical illness- and disability cover) with regards to the Coronavirus. This means that our clients’ cover remains intact, regardless of the virus and where they have travelled or intend to travel. We will continue to pay all valid claims. Covered by Momentum Medical Scheme 1. Coronavirus is covered Momentum Medical Scheme will cover the cost of diagnosis and treatment for confirmed COVID-19 cases. We will cover private hospitalisation when a member with a confirmed diagnosis is symptomatic and requires hospitalisation in terms of the World Health Organisation (WHO) and National Institute of Communicable Diseases (NICD) protocols for COVID-19. 2. Treatment is aligned to WHO and NICD protocols South Africa is part of the WHO and we manage pandemics in line with international protocols. The NICD, that works closely with WHO, manages situations like this for our country. This means that for any patient who is tested, the swab sample will need to be sent to the NICD-accredited laboratories. Based on the results of those tests, NICD will recommend the medical process for each patient, together with the treating doctor. If the member is infected and presents as symptomatic, they may suggest isolation, most probably at the patient’s home. However, the NICD has also established hospitals in each province to assist patients and manage the quarantine process. Momentum Medical Scheme members may however use any private hospital, that meets the requirements/protocols for quarantine and treatment, as published by the NICD. 3. Medical cover through your employer For corporate employer groups who offer Momentum Health insurance solutions to their employees, these employees are also covered for treatment of the virus, within the parameters of their benefits. 4. Free access to Hello Doctor for Momentum Health medical scheme members – 24/7 Hello Doctor gives members of most medical schemes administered by Momentum Health Solutions free cell phone and digital access to a qualified doctor 24/7, 365. This is the ideal tool for any member to learn more about the symptoms, treatment and prevention of a virus such as corona. 5. Access to information It is important to prevent and not believe misinformation. The WHO and the NICD continue to provide valuable insight and updates regarding the virus and how it is spreading globally. Their dedicated websites are a great source of information, having taught us that the main symptoms are fever, a dry cough and fatigue, often followed by muscle aches, nasal congestions and sore throats – very similar to flu symptoms. Their data shows us that the majority of people around the world who have contracted the virus suffer mild conditions. There are members who are a higher risk of contracting the virus and where the symptoms may be more severe. Any person who has a compromised immune system, such as elderly people and people with chronic health conditions or lung problems, would be at a higher risk. Follow these steps to minimise your chances of contracting coronavirus: • The first is to regularly wash your hands. • Don’t touch your eyes, nose and mouth. • Reconsider your travel arrangements, especially to countries where outbreaks of the virus have been reported. • Seek out credible sources of information, such as the WHO, as misinformation is more prevalent than ever before. Momentum continues to monitor the situation in accordance with the guidelines as set out by The National Institute for Communicable Diseases (NICD) and we will continue to keep you updated. We caution our clients and all South Africans against false information. |
