preface

During the recent COVID-19 outbreak, I believe many students, like me, cannot return to work on time. You may need to work from home for a while. Some students may return to work, but the current situation is not conducive to travel, according to my personal experience in these days to tell you for your reference.

The best choice

The best option is to telecommute from home. Reducing human mobility to avoid cross-infection is the best way to combat the epidemic.

Telecommuting is an advantage for us in this field, as long as you have Internet access and a computer, you can code. So it’s not too big a problem as long as you can overcome those two things. Those of you who have not started to prepare need to start to prepare according to the current situation.

Some aspects to consider for the return trip

There are also students who may have to go back, so you need to pay special attention to some questions. I went out to do something urgent the day before yesterday, and now I can’t go out. So I might know something, so here’s a reference for you. Here are some questions to consider if you need to return home.

Self protection

Wear protective equipment correctly and avoid staying in crowded areas. Pay close attention to the epidemic information in the place you pass, and avoid the activity disclosure area of suspected cases. Avoid cash transactions as much as possible. But also carry some cash.

Planning to travel

In many places these days, once you get out, you can’t go back. Even some grassroots in the implementation of the “one-size-fits-all”. Some places, for example, have closed off junctions on national roads in the name of “roadworks”.

Even some provincial roads have been blocked. There’s a good chance you can’t get in. I drove around four times before I had a chance to return, so don’t go anywhere if you’re not sure.

So be sure to track your route in real time.

Destination Community Information

Some so-called “community autonomy” has emerged in places like Beijing. The tenants who return to the city are advised to leave. Policy does not allow this, but the current regional discrimination should be fully aware of the problem. I live in a community where owners are denied entry even when they return from out of town. Avoid the situation of no place to live after returning to the city. Even a successful return faces the problem of self-quarantine observation.

Daily supplies reserve

If you make it back to work, make sure your supplies cover your basic needs and health care. Now many goods are not easy to buy, especially protective equipment.

Authenticity and validity of information

In special times, we must pay attention to obtain information from formal channels, do not easily believe hearsay, have their own judgment, to weigh the pros and cons. At the same time, with the dynamic change of the epidemic situation, the policy and some measures will be changed frequently. A friend of mine knew that his license plate could pass before his trip, but it changed on the way and had to go back to his hometown. In the picture above we missed the nearest route by two minutes before the freeway closed.

Accurate information is critical to your travel these days, so don’t play with your phone on the go to make sure it’s fully charged.

conclusion

The epidemic has brought us suffering, and we need all people to work together to overcome it. So whether you choose to stay home or go back to town, keep the big picture in mind. Don’t trouble yourself with relief work. Fully understand the difficulties of staff on the ground. To protect ourselves is to contribute to the fight against the epidemic! May the virus go away soon!
