Guo Yue, a junior majoring in Accounting at Wuhan College, was diagnosed with COVID-19 after returning to his hometown in Cangzhou City, Hebei Province. Ultimately, no one was infected by him. How did he manage to safeguard those around him in the face of such a highly infectious disease? Let’s take a look at his experience and the quarantine measures he took.

Wear a mask all the way home

On January 22, Guo Yue set off from Wuhan and returned home as planned. At that time, he had no obvious symptoms of infection, but cautious as he was, he got himself fully equipped before boarding the plane, wearing three layers of masks and gloves. “There is an incubation period after infection, and on my way back home I encountered many people on public transport. Therefore, sufficient protection was necessary and good for everybody.”

At 5 pm that day, Guo Yue’s plane landed in Tianjin. During the two-hour trip, Guo Yue did not take off his masks and gloves, nor did he talk to anyone around him. He called his father who was going to pick him up at Tianjin Airport in advance and asked his father to bring alcohol to disinfect him and his luggage. At 9 pm, Guo Yue returned home and contacted the local community to explain his situation. Then he quarantined himself in the bedroom. “As I came back from Wuhan, I was worried about spreading the virus to others, so I planned to quarantine myself for 14 days,” Guo Yue said.

Quarantine in a room

Two days later, Guo Yue received news that a classmate of his had been diagnosed with COVID-19. It reminded him that he had a cough on January 17, so he immediately told the community what happened, and went to the hospital for quarantine the same day.

當(dāng)天下午5 點(diǎn)，郭岳乘坐的飛機(jī)落地天津。兩個(gè)小時(shí)的行程中，郭岳沒(méi)有摘下口罩、手套，沒(méi)和任何人交談。他提前打電話(huà)給到天津機(jī)場(chǎng)接他的父親，讓父親帶上酒精，把自己全身和行李消毒。晚上9 時(shí)，郭岳回到家，主動(dòng)聯(lián)系社區(qū)說(shuō)明自己的情況，然后他就把自己隔離在了臥室里?！耙?yàn)閺奈錆h回來(lái)，我擔(dān)心傳染給他人，就準(zhǔn)備把自己隔離14 天?！惫勒f(shuō)。

一直把自己隔離在房里

2 天后，郭岳收到同學(xué)確診的信息。他聯(lián)想到自己1月17日曾出現(xiàn)過(guò)咳嗽，于是馬上聯(lián)系社區(qū)，說(shuō)明了情況，當(dāng)天他就前往醫(yī)院進(jìn)行隔離。“雖然我沒(méi)有發(fā)燒等癥狀，但作為密切接觸者，我擔(dān)心自己在潛伏期內(nèi)會(huì)傳染給他人?！惫勒f(shuō)。

1月29日，郭岳確診?！皯c幸的是，回來(lái)后我一直把自己隔離在房里，沒(méi)有密切接觸他人。”郭岳說(shuō)，他的父母和弟弟無(wú)一人感染，也沒(méi)有其他人因他感染。

回憶起醫(yī)院的治療，郭岳告訴記者：“醫(yī)護(hù)人員最辛苦。她們不僅要給我們治療，還要照顧我們的生活起居，打掃病房。你只要覺(jué)得不舒服，按鈴就有醫(yī)護(hù)人員過(guò)來(lái)。”1月30日，郭岳情緒低落，醫(yī)院護(hù)士長(zhǎng)對(duì)他進(jìn)行心理輔導(dǎo)，“她說(shuō)我的情況不是很?chē)?yán)重，讓我不要焦慮，醫(yī)護(hù)人員會(huì)全力救治。此外，我的家人、朋友和學(xué)校都給了我很大的幫助。”

出院后在車(chē)庫(kù)隔離28 天

2月7日，郭岳出院后開(kāi)始了車(chē)庫(kù)獨(dú)居生活?！拔覔?dān)心自己的病情會(huì)出現(xiàn)反復(fù)，回家后馬上把自己再次隔離起來(lái)，避免傳染給他人。”郭岳說(shuō)。

車(chē)庫(kù)約30 平方米，一邊是居室，擺放著一張小床，還有一張可供學(xué)習(xí)、吃飯的桌子，一個(gè)小電暖器；另一邊是洗手間。在小小的車(chē)庫(kù)里，郭岳開(kāi)始了自己的學(xué)習(xí)，一邊上網(wǎng)課一邊復(fù)習(xí)備戰(zhàn)考研?！白罱趶?fù)習(xí)英語(yǔ)，我之前住院的時(shí)候就帶著英語(yǔ)資料書(shū)，狀態(tài)好一點(diǎn)就學(xué)習(xí)?，F(xiàn)在，每天學(xué)習(xí)時(shí)間更多了，希望能考上理想的學(xué)校?！?/p>

每天，父母會(huì)把他的一日三餐送到車(chē)庫(kù)門(mén)外。他與家人乃至外界溝通，全靠手機(jī)。“我每天都會(huì)和我奶奶視頻，老人家年紀(jì)大了，特別擔(dān)心我，我就每天跟她視頻，讓她放心?！惫勒f(shuō)。原來(lái)郭岳擔(dān)心影響大家的生活，每天堅(jiān)持只開(kāi)一個(gè)小縫，所以一天中很少見(jiàn)到太陽(yáng)。白天還稍好點(diǎn)，晚上車(chē)庫(kù)有些冷，他就靠電暖器取暖。

記者采訪(fǎng)郭岳時(shí)，他仍獨(dú)自住在家中的車(chē)庫(kù)里。郭岳說(shuō)，他打算在車(chē)庫(kù)再住滿(mǎn)一個(gè)14 天，共有2個(gè)14 天。這樣更安全一些，也不會(huì)給家人和周?chē)藥ゲ槐匾穆闊Ｒ驗(yàn)楣澜炭茣?shū)式的自我隔離，未造成一人因他感染，這是他一直特別欣慰的事情。

“Although I have no fever or other symptoms, as a person in close contact with my classmate who got the disease, I was worried that I might have others infected during the incubation period,” Guo Yue said.

On January 29, Guo Yue was diagnosed positive. “Fortunately, I had quarantined myself in my own room since I returned, and had not been in close contact with others.” Guo Yue said that neither his parents nor his brother nor anyone else was infected by him.

Recalling the treatment in the hospital, Guo Yue told the reporters, “The medical staff bear the heaviest burden. They not only treat us, but also take care of our daily lives and clean the wards. When you feel uncomfortable and ring the bell, the medical staff will come to you as soon as possible.” On January 30, Guo Yue felt quite down, so the head nurse gave him psychological counseling. “She told me that my condition was not very serious, there was no need to be anxious and that the medical staff would do their best. In addition, my family, friends, and school all helped me a lot.”

Quarantine in the garage for 28 days after discharge

On February 7, Guo Yue started living alone in the garage after being discharged from the hospital. “It worried me that there was still a risk of relapse, so I quarantined myself again immediately after I returned home so as to avoid spreading the virus,” Guo Yue said.

The garage is about 30 square meters. On one side there is a living room with a small bed, a table for studying and dining, and a small electric heater, while on the other side there is a toilet. In the small garage, Guo Yue resumed his studies, preparing for the postgraduate entrance examination while having online courses. “Recently I was revising for English. When I was hospitalized, I took an English book there and read it whenever I felt better. Now, I have more time to study every day. I hope to be admitted to my dream school.”

Every day, his parents put his meals down by the garage door. He communicates with his family and the outside world on his phone. “I video chat with my grandma every day. She’s old now and she’s particularly worried about me, so I chat with her every day to reassure her.” Guo Yue said. For fear of affecting others, Guo Yue insisted that his door could be only slightly open with a narrow slot. He rarely sees the sunlight throughout the day. It’s a little better during the daytime. During the night when the garage turns cold, however, he has to rely on an electric heater to keep warm.

At the time of the interview, Guo Yue still lives alone in his home garage. Guo Yue said that he planned to live in the garage for another 14 days, so there would be 2 quarantine periods. It’s safer and will not cause unnecessary trouble to people around him. Thanks to Guo Yue’s determined self-quarantine, no one was infected because of him, which is something he is particularly proud of.

After being cured, he donated his blood

On February 22, Guo Yue received a call from the Cangzhou People’s Hospital, informing him that a COVID-19 patient whose blood type matched his urgently needed plasma, and asked if he could go to the hospital for donation. “Life is always the first choice. I have to help others if I can. I agreed immediately, had some relevant consultation, and was later picked up by the hospital for the donation.” Guo Yue recalled. On the same day, he donated 200 ml of plasma.

On the morning of February 24, Guo Yue received a message from the Blood Donation Center of Cangzhou: “Dear Guo Yue: The plasma you donated on February 22, 2020 has been proved qualified after the blood test. Thank you for your donation!” At the beginning, he was actually a little scared at the scene of plasma donation, and he had a little chest tightness at that time. But when he received the phone call from the hospital saying that there was a patient in urgent need of plasma, he agreed without hesitation, “After all, it is more important to save lives.”

治愈出院后捐血救人

2月22日，郭岳接到滄州市人民醫(yī)院的電話(huà)，告知他有一名新冠肺炎患者急需血漿，血型和他匹配，詢(xún)問(wèn)他是否可以前往醫(yī)院捐獻(xiàn)。“生命是第一位的，有能力就要去幫助別人。我當(dāng)即答應(yīng)了他們，進(jìn)行了相關(guān)資料的查詢(xún)，后面醫(yī)院就接我去醫(yī)院捐獻(xiàn)了。”郭岳說(shuō)。當(dāng)天，他捐獻(xiàn)了200 毫升血漿。

24日上午，郭岳收到了滄州市中心血站發(fā)來(lái)的短信：“郭岳您好：您于2020年2月22日獻(xiàn)血一次，檢驗(yàn)合格，感謝您的無(wú)私奉獻(xiàn)！”他告訴記者，其實(shí)一開(kāi)始看到血漿捐贈(zèng)他自己還是有些害怕，而且自己那段時(shí)間還有些胸悶。但是當(dāng)接到電話(huà)知道有患者急需血漿時(shí)，他毫不猶疑地答應(yīng)了，“畢竟救人要緊”。
