Do not leave children unattended!

Injuries to children and their prevention are very important issues, especially during quarantine, the risk of domestic injuries increases. An analysis of emergency situations shows that only in 2018 the country had 15 cases of the disease (7 deaths, 8 injured) associated with the fall of children from the windows and balconies of apartment buildings. In 2019, there were 34 cases in the country (7 children were killed, 27 were injured). In addition, this year 6 cases were recorded in the country (2 deaths, 4 children injured). In this regard, in order to prevent children from falling out of windows and injuries in residential buildings, Emergency department of the Kurchum district recalls: when opening windows in an apartment and ventilating the room, make sure that the child is under supervision. During ventilation open transoms and windows. If you nevertheless open the window, then do not open it more than 10 cm, set limiters for this purpose. Do not allow your child to go to the balcony unaccompanied by adults. You must move all furniture, including beds, from the windows. This will help prevent the baby from accidentally getting on the windowsill. Mosquito nets pose a great danger: the child sees a certain obstacle in front relies confidently on it, and as a result, it can fall out with a net that is not designed for the weight of even the smallest one-year-old baby. Parents and grandparents! Attend the children carefully, do not leave them alone unattended.
