各位在舟山的外国朋友：

    舟山市科学技术局、舟山市外国专家局谨向在舟山的各位外国朋友致以诚挚的问候！

    当前，境外疫情仍在肆虐蔓延，国内多地发生零星散发病例和局部集聚性疫情，加之春节临近，人流量增大，疫情传播风险加大，防控形势日趋严峻。为切实加强冬春季及春节期间疫情防控工作，确保度过欢乐祥和、平安健康的节日，我们向在舟山的各位外国专家提出如下倡议：

    一、遵循舟山市防疫相关措施，根据疫情防控情况积极配合防疫相关工作。

    二、坚持戴口罩、勤洗手、常通风、少集聚、“一米线”、用公勺公筷等健康生活方式和行为；进入公共场所要主动提供健康码，配合测体温；关注自身和家人健康状况，一旦出现发热、咳嗽、乏力等症状，立即佩戴口罩到就近发热门诊就诊，主动告知14天活动轨迹和接触史。提倡家庭聚餐聚会不超过10人，做好个人防护，有流感等症状尽量不参加。

    三、“非必要不举办”，控制大规模聚集性活动。举办会议、聚会等活动应当控制人数，尽量举办线上会议或视频会议，50人以上活动应当制定防控应急预案，严格落实有关防控措施。所有宗教活动和民间信仰活动场所不举行迎新、敬香、撞钟等聚集性祈福活动。不举办大型团拜、慰问、联欢、大规模聚餐等活动。如确需举办，严格控制人员数量和规模，制定防控应急预案，并报属地防控办批准。

    四、“非必须不离舟”。避免前往疫情中高风险地区，尽量留在舟山过节。

    五、不参与活禽交易，不购买、食用野生动物。到正规市场、超市购买冷冻食品，购买时尽量避免手直接触碰，切割时要注意容器、刀具、案板生熟分开，食物需充分煮熟后再食用。从事入境物品存储、运输、装卸等相关工作人员要严格落实日常健康防护。
