亲爱的外籍朋友，您好！值此新春佳节之际，我们谨向您和您的家人致以节日的祝福！
针对当前新型冠状病毒感染的肺炎疫情，湖北省已启动了突发公共卫生事件一级应急响应。随州市委市政府高度重视，统一部署，各项疫情防控工作正在有序展开。为有效防控疫情，保障人民群众和外籍人士的生命安全和健康福祉，随州市政府外事办公室向在随外籍人士发出倡议：
一要关注官方信息。请关注“云上随州”微信公众号，了解新型冠状病毒感染的肺炎疫情官方通报及随州定点救治医院名单和防治措施等信息。做到不信谣，不传谣，不恐慌。遇有问题可与当地政府联系或咨询24小时涉外服务咨询电话：0722—3596822,15586723999。
二要远离病毒和传染源。不扎堆，不串门，不走亲访友，不聚会，不聚餐，不去人群聚集的公共场所，若必须前往，请正确佩戴口罩，首选医用外科口罩；避免接触任何野生动物或禽类动物，肉类和蛋类请彻底煮熟后食用。
三要加强自我防护。保持良好的卫生习惯，注意手卫生，勤洗手。咳嗽、打喷嚏时务必使用纸巾或肘部捂住口鼻，不随地吐痰，废弃口罩按规定规范投放。适当开窗通风，注意保持室内环境卫生。
四要参与联防联控。要依法协助、配合、服从政府部门组织开展的防控工作。如果您1月10日以后曾到访武汉、外出他地，或接触过武汉、黄冈、孝感等疫情高发地区的来随人员，要密切关注自身的身体状况，尽量居家休息，减少外出。
五要持续观察自己的健康状况。如果有政府、社区工作人员、医务人员询问您的情况，请您积极配合他们的工作。若出现发热、咳嗽、胸闷、乏力等症状，请佩戴口罩，就近到我市定点医疗机构就诊。
各位外国朋友，在这危机关头，随州是我们共同的家园。让我们众志成城，守望守护，以必胜的信心和勇气，共同打赢这场伟大的战役。
