Recently, the spread of COVID-19 has become increasingly obvious. As of  March 2, the cases have been confirmed in 64 countries. New cases in South  Korea, Japan, Italy, Iran and other countries have increased significantly.  Imported cases have been found in many regions of China, like Beijing, Zhejiang  and Shenzhen. We hereby provide the following prevention and control suggestions  for the overseas Chinese:

　　I. Continue to pay attention to the epidemic changes in the local area,  actively cooperate with the local government to carry out epidemic prevention  and control as well as implement prevention and control measures in accordance  with the laws and regulations of the countries and regions where you are located  on preventing and controlling infectious diseases and the requirements of  epidemic prevention and control.

　　II. Pay close attention to the websites of Ministry of Foreign Affairs of  the People's Republic of China, Chinese Center for Disease Control and  Prevention, Beijing Center for Diseases Control and Prevention and other  official agencies to see the prevention and control requirements and health tips  of COVID-19.

　　III. Actively take eight personal protective measures: First, maintain good  personal hygiene, wash hands frequently, drink more water, and change and wash  clothes frequently. Wash hands after coming back home, before eating meals and  after using the toilet; hands must be washed or disinfected with hand  disinfectant after touching articles that may be contaminated. Second, the masks  should be worn correctly when going out to take public transportation, van  elevators, indoor public places and other closed environments. Third, keep the  living environment clean. It is recommended to ventilate 2-3 times a day for  more than 30 minutes each time. Attention should be paid to keeping warm during  ventilation. Fourth, when eating together, avoid the peak time and reduce close  contact with others. Fifth, in the reception of visitors, both sides should wear  disposable surgical masks, avoid shaking hands and giving hugs, and maintain a  distance of more than one meter. Sixth, avoid participating in dinners and  activities in crowded public places, especially places with poor air flow, such  as theaters, bars, internet cafes, shopping malls, stations, docks, exhibition  halls, museums, public baths, hot springs, etc. Seventh, avoid spitting  everywhere, use elbows or paper towels to cover the mouth and nose when sneezing  or coughing, and avoid touching the mouth, nose and eyes with hands. Wrap nasal  and oral secretions or spits with paper towels and dispose of them in covered  dustbins. Eighth, if you share a room with others or live in other people’s  home, you need to observe whether the relevant personnel have fever, medical  treatment and other abnormal conditions.

　　IV. If you have fever, dry cough and other symptoms, please stop working  and studying immediately. You should wear disposable medical masks, accept  medical treatment with the nearest local medical institution, and inform the  medical personnel of the relevant contact history. During the treatment, avoid  touching the relevant articles in the visit environment, and avoid  subconsciously touching your mouth, nose and eyes.

　　V. During the period of the outbreak of epidemic, please keep calm, unless  it's necessary, don't travel as much as possible, and please make international  travels in strict accordance with the relevant recommendations and requirements  of local and Chinese embassies. If you have been a close contact with COVID-19  cases, you should cancel travel or tourism arrangements and conduct isolated  medical observation on site.

　　The World Health Organization has raised the global risk level of COVID-19  to "very high". Therefore, it is necessary for every country and every person to  work together to fight against the epidemic.
