The state of COVID-19 patients after six months to one year's rehabilitation: fatigue and muscle weakness, which are the daily state of nearly half of the recovered people. However, most of the recovered people in the new museum still have at least one abnormal symptom after one year: for example, breathing is a very difficult thing for the recovered people, the heart seems to be out of control, the taste is gradually disordered, and insomnia and anxiety become daily.

At the same time, because of different constitutions, some people will have joint pain, rash, diarrhea and vomiting, and countless diseases afflict them.

So, what aspects should family members take care of after COVID-19's patients are cured?

When living with your family, you should wear a mask, keep the door closed in a separate room, and keep a distance of more than 1 m from your family.

The cured patient's body may not have fully recovered, so when taking care of the patient, family members still need to eat a reasonable diet, eat some nutritious food properly, and try to avoid eating greasy, high-salt and high-calorie food. Try to give priority to with a light diet, eat more foods rich in vitamins such as vegetables and fruits, properly ingest high-quality protein, improve your own resistance, and try not to eat spicy and irritating foods.

In addition, patients in COVID-19 need to drink more water, with a daily volume of 1000 to 2,000 ml. Family members can appropriately remind them when taking care of patients.

At the same time, when taking care of patients, we should always keep indoor air circulation, and do not use air conditioning in rooms, especially central air conditioning shared with other rooms. If the weather permits, it is recommended to keep all windows open and ventilated during the day or at least 2 to 3 times a day for at least 30 minutes each time.

Be sure to prepare an independent set of bowls and chopsticks for patients, and at the same time, cups, towels, bedding and other items should also be prepared separately.

Family members should use ordinary household disinfectants (used according to the instructions, such as 84 disinfectant) every day to clean and disinfect the household surfaces that rehabilitation personnel often contact, such as bedside tables and bedsteads; Other bedroom furniture, use alcohol to wipe door handles, mobile phones, switches, keyboards, etc.

As family members, we should also be careful not to touch the secretions of observers, especially saliva, sputum, feces and so on.

Family members cooperate with neighborhood committees or community working groups to follow up the discharged COVID-19 patients, so as to understand the situation of home management.

The patience of family members is particularly precious at this time. We have to understand that when we are infected with this virus, we may leave some sequelae after being cured. This sequela will not only bring physical harm, but also mental torture, which needs the support and care of our family!

Family members are the main caregivers of patients. If we can give patients more spiritual comfort, consideration and encouragement, we can greatly improve their confidence in overcoming the disease.

Finally, all family members should pay attention to each other's health. If you have respiratory symptoms, diarrhea or fever at home, you should wear a mask and seek medical treatment immediately, and inform the doctor of your family's recovery.
