Investigation and analysis on personal protection of cold chain food workers during the pandemic of COVID-19
Objective To understand the personal protection of cold chain food practitioners during the epidemic period of COVID-19,and to provide reference for formulating prevention and control strategies for infectious disease in this popula-tion.Methods Five cities in Anhui Province were selected,a certain number of cold chain food enterprises were randomly picked from each city.Conducted a questionnaire survey on all their employees(including basic demographic characteris-tics,personal protection situation,etc.).The data was statistically analyzed using SPSS 21.0.Results A total of 932 cold chain food workers were investigated,90.40％of them wore masks regularly/every day,and 81.65％of them had received training on infectious diseases(including COVID-19).The wearing rate of medical protective masks(N95/KN95)among male cold chain food practitioners(19.22％)was higher than that of females(12.68％)(x2=8.174,P=0.017).There were statistically significant differences in the mask wearing rate and glove wearing rate among cold chain food industry em-ployees of different age groups(x2=18.182,P＜0.001;x2=24.533,P＜0.001).The wearing rate of medical protective masks(N95/KN95)by employees directly in contact with cold chain food(19.25％)was higher than that of non-direct contact employees(7.43％)(x2=23.694,P＜0.001).The daily glove wearing rate of employees directly in contact with cold chain food(53.13％)was higher than that of non-direct contact employees(31.71％)(x2=71.283,P＜0.001).Con-clusion The personal protection level of cold chain food practitioners still needs to be consolidated and improved to reduce the risk of infectious disease transmission.
