While you are writing PPT in the office, Alaska sturgeon is jumping out of the water …

The former advertising words have poked the soft underbelly of countless migrant workers.

Nowadays, writing PPT and watching Alaska sturgeon jump can happen at the same time.

With the internationalization of talent flow, the globalization of office space and the increasing integration of work and life,"digital vagrant"This emerging group is on the rise. They enjoy unprecedented initiative, flexibility and sense of control in working hours.

According to the data of the global recruitment platform Bossjob, since the third quarter of 2023, the number of candidates seeking long-distance or mixed work arrangements has increased significantly, with a growth rate of seven times. A survey of over 3 million active job seekers based on this platform shows that about 32% job seekers are actively seeking remote job opportunities.

According to a report released by MBO Partners, the number of digital vagrants in the world has reached as high as.35 million, and is expected to break through the 1 billion mark in 2035.

More than 40 countries around the world have responded positively by launching digital visitor visas.At least 15 European countries such as Germany, Spain and Greece have joined the ranks.

There are also more and more "big manufacturers" who choose to leave their jobs to become digital vagrants, start living around the world and realize geographical arbitrage. In Little Red Book, # How to become a topic with high activity such as digital vagrants has accumulated 200 million+views.

"When you work in a big factory, you will feel that there is only one stand-alone game to play in the world, but after you don’t go to work, you will find that there are many kinds of games to play in this world."

This is the inner portrayal of Sherry, a female worker in the third factory. After three big factories, Sherry has too much say in digital vagrants.

"Although the big factory is good, don’t be greedy."In her view, this is just a bigger grass-roots team. I thought I could "build a plane" before I went in, but I found it was "screwing" after I went in."After playing a game, you can’t cheat your own brain. You don’t have to be promoted and raised in a big factory, and it’s called landing. "

Being a digital vagrant, while making money and career, experiencing life and exploring the world, Sherry feels completely stretched.

Fang Fang often thinks, what is the significance of living in the world? Her answer isDeeply experience the charm of life in different regions"Only by going out can we reach the Cape of Good Hope and get the cheat sheet secretly sent to us by the universe."

Digital vagrants don’t have to worry too much about job opportunities. According to Gartner’s survey, as many as 82% companies plan to include more policies related to telecommuting and digital nomadism for their employees in the future.

This paper will focus on those digital vagrants who make millions of dollars a year but bravely choose to leave the big factory, and feel how they go forward bravely in the pursuit of freedom and dreams, and what unprecedented challenges and puzzles they have encountered.

First, there is finally no "class smell" on me.

"I didn’t expect to be so lucky. The first time I dive, I actually opened my face with the long-tailed shark."

After two weeks in Malatu, Indonesia, Emily realized the freedom of diving. She saw long-tailed sharks, sea wolf storms, Czech storms, leopard sharks, dolphins, jellyfish, and helped turtles hatch their eggs. In her eyes, Maratu is cleaner than Semporna, and has a kind of unique and independent beauty.

This is Emily’s 200th day of resignation as a digital vagrant. Her previous job was as a marketing manager of the world’s top 500 multinational pharmaceutical companies with an annual salary of one million. But a "class smell", there are endless meetings and endless phone calls every day.

And now,Her life is mainly diving,Two dives in the morning and one dive in the afternoon,Give Chinese lessons to foreign students remotely through the online platform at noon and evening.Near dusk, go to the deck to bask in the sun, while listening to submarine missile guitar singing, while watching the sunset, you can also chat with potential friends from all walks of life about their experiences and life.

As a digital vagrant, Emily found a job as an online Chinese teacher, who can take classes while watching the world. As long as there is a signal, she can take classes anywhere. In the kitchen of Thailand B&B, in the self-driving car to Xinjiang, in the diving dock, on the suitcase of the wooden house at sea … ……Emily keeps unlocking new scenes of telecommuting.

After becoming a digital vagrant, Ye’s whole body and mind have been healed while traveling and working.

I traveled around the world with my backpack for 154 days, passing through 18 countries on 5 continents, diving in the Antarctic for my 30-year-old birthday, hiking in the Himalayas to see Rizhao Jinshan, taking a romantic hot air balloon in Turkey, and seeing half the city and half the grave in Sarajevo.

And six months ago, she was still deeply involved in the involution, PUA, serious internal friction and various red lights in her body. Health and millions of annual salary are placed at both ends of the scale.

"What I hate is not work, but going to work."

Ye Zi’s previous work in the big factory was not complicated in itself, but the complicated procedures and office socializing made her exhausted, such as dealing with colleagues to confirm the landing, holding large and small meetings to promote the process, and even preventing people from making small moves behind their backs and being required to go to the toilet for no more than 10 minutes.

Just like a new factory prison, there is a monitor overhead to prevent employees from fishing and chatting. In addition, there are various KPI, OKR and other performance evaluations.

"The annual salary of millions of Internet manufacturers is really fragrant, and it is really necessary to change it." After a struggle, she decided to choose naked resignation as a digital vagrant.

"I suddenly feel that the whole world is much cleaner and simpler, and I don’t have to deal with many meaningless people and things."

For Xiao Xincheng, a 34-year-old programmer, being a digital vagrant for telecommuting,It is also an effective solution to the "35-year-old crisis".

Xiao Xincheng was once a "child of other people’s family", and he got nearly 40W annual salary and stock benefits from a famous school as soon as he graduated. However, after the first few years, he found himself in a technical bottleneck and needed to be sublimated, but the endless overtime made him have no time to study.

With the influx of more cost-effective "post-waves", Xiao Xincheng, 34, was forced to "graduate" because he couldn’t keep up with new technologies and couldn’t compete with young people physically.

"Everyone in China thinks that 35 years old will be a watershed in the programmer’s career." At this awkward age, Xiao Xincheng went out to look for a job. After being a "favored son of heaven" for so many years, he encountered the "Waterloo" in life for the first time.

In order to distract himself, he took his resignation gift package and started his life as a digital vagrant living around the world.

Soon, he found a remote job overseas through the online platform. This company is American. Americans think that age is a private matter, and they don’t care too much about age in interviews and workplaces. Xiao Xincheng Many American colleagues, aged 40 to 50, are still engaged in front-line development.

Moreover, he was pleasantly surprised to find that after becoming a digital vagrant,Can save 28 hours of commuting time in a week,It takes more than 1000 hours a year, which gives him more time to pursue his interests and dreams.

Second, the compulsory course of digital vagrants, first learn to "disenchant"

However, there is no denying that digital vagrants are not as beautiful as they thought, and they will also encounter various problems.

The first lesson of becoming a digital vagrant is to learn to disenchant the "digital vagrant".

Freedom of work, freedom of time, freedom of place, freedom of movement, these seemingly attractive labels, in fact, hide a lot of risks.

Digital vagrants still have to live, rent a house, eat, and deal with the odds and ends in life. For remote workers who rely on the network, a stable network environment is even more important.

Emily is a teacher of Chinese as a foreign language and needs to teach foreigners Chinese online. Before living in Thailand, the network signal was too bad, and the class was always intermittent. No way, Emily had to move the computer to the kitchen of the hotel, because it was closest to the router.

Personal protection is a great need of digital vagrants.Without social security, many digital vagrants are generally weak in their ability to resist risks and are in a state of "safe streaking".

The lamb accidentally wrestled abroad and hit her chest. After a few minutes of violent impact, she had difficulty breathing and her scalp was numb. She squatted on the ground for a long time before she stood up.

After more than a week of continuous pain, the lamb went to check and found that two ribs were cracked, and she had to rest with a waist for 2 months.

Although the expense of travel insurance has been settled, Lamb also realized that he can no longer be in a state of "streaking" and has provided himself with millions of medical care, accident insurance, critical illness insurance and life insurance.

Self-discipline is a big challenge for digital vagrants. Without a fixed commute time and a clear work framework, the boundary between work and life becomes blurred.

Greater freedom is behind more self-discipline. But this is a struggle against human nature, and it is not easy to do.

After Xinda became a digital vagrant from naked resignation, a big factory, he began a period of "indulgence". He often played games and brushed his mobile phone until the early hours of the morning, and his biological clock was disordered and his work efficiency was low during the day, which made him feel miserable.

Sherry used to be deeply influenced by "non-self-discipline", but she quickly adjusted herself and chose a place with a strong working atmosphere to Push herself with "heteronomy".

At the same time, I am constantly familiar with exploring my own working clock and making reasonable arrangements to improve efficiency. Aware that she will be more efficient at work at night, she will do input for learning in the morning, work for output in the evening, and rest and play in the afternoon.

Every day, Sherry will make a work plan in advance, which is not very difficult, and will also use a fun activity as a work Deadline for herself, such as making an appointment with friends for dinner. Then you will try to improve efficiency for dinner appointments.

In this way, Sherry can finish a day’s work efficiently in two hours a day, but her income has tripled.

What Li Xinran faces is more.Pressure from parents.

In the eyes of parents, digital vagrants are "unreliable" vagrants. It is better to go back to a small town in my hometown to take an examination of a civil servant or a teacher, and get married and have children as soon as possible. For parents’ opinions, Li Xinran chose "not to listen" and can blacken his parents if necessary.

There are also unavoidable anxiety problems.

After Mengxi became a digital vagrant, she was particularly happy that she finally got rid of the "class taste" and found the wilderness of life. However, after three months of sweet period, she gradually fell into "wilderness anxiety", which once affected her daily life.

"Who ever thought that naked resignation was depressed before, but he was anxious after naked resignation?"

Meng Xi is frank, and he will want to go back to work during the six months of being a digital vagrant. For example, when there is no traffic, there are only three praises from the media a day. When the efforts are fruitless, when the income is unstable, when you can only eat, sleep and work in one place every day.

She calls this stage "snake molting". Every month, she nests in the corner, doing nothing, feeling the vitality slowly shrinking and disappearing, and then after reaching a node, new skin emerges and lives again.

Similarly, in order to avoid anxiety, Xia Mengren will meditate at the seaside every morning, observe breathing attentively, and feel the state of every part of his body. Every time he finishes meditation, he will feel as if his whole body is charged.

Third, my peace of mind is "making money"

Of course, digital vagrants are most anxious about money. After all,Poetry and distance are very expensive, and the pursuit of dreams and freedom is inseparable from travelling expenses.

"In fact, if you jump out of the framework and put down your face, you will find that there are really many ways to make money." Emily combines her own experience with that of digital vagrants around her. Many digital vagrants will cultivate themselves into "fish with many claws" and there will be many income channels.

Digital vagrants make money both offline and online. Off-line, many digital vagrants usually focus on experience and try different careers.Make money with your love and expertise.For example, market stalls, bar singing, teaching yoga and so on.

Fangfang chose to set up a stall in the streets of Australia to sell handmade ornaments. In the eyes of people around you, this is all about "Amazing". After all, Fang Fang used to handle tens of millions of projects, but now she will fight for an extra 50 yuan in booth fees and market hosting.

In Australia, Fangfang is increasingly talking about the word "hourly wage". Even the invitation interview, her first reaction is:Yes, but you have to pay by the hour.

More digital vagrants will look for jobs online through remote platforms.According to Statista, 17% of global digital vagrants are employed by telecommuting companies, and 83% are self-employed or freelancers.

Online platforms include platforms such as Remote.co and Bossjob, platforms focusing on freelancing such as Upwork and Freelancer, and comprehensive job-hunting platforms such as LinkedIn and Boss Direct Employment.

There are also many digital vagrants,Rely on the contacts accumulated in the past, and take orders to find a job through mutual introduction and internal promotion of "people of the same mind".

Alex is one of them. He is about to be promoted to a nursing father and wants to find a job that can balance work and life.

However, considering the age of 30+, it will cost a lot of time to find a job with a salary or an increase before Cover in China, so it is difficult to divide time for life.

Moreover, combined with his own background and technical advantages, Alex also made a rational evaluation. "If it is a general-purpose iOS, I will go to a senior level, or a level like P7, I think my industry field will be narrow."

After comprehensive consideration, Alex feels that it is more suitable for him to skillfully use geographical spreads to find jobs for companies in Europe, America and Singapore to support remote services.

Beilu, on the other hand, found himself enjoying the state of "working while traveling" during the 10-month freelance exploration, so he consciously went to look for a remote job and found the current overseas technology startup company.

Bellow revealed that a business plan project takes about a week and earns 1,000 to 1,500 dollars.

Time is free, so is taking orders. "The income is not bad. Compared with the previous factory, the salary can be doubled."

But there is no denying that,Finding a reliable remote position is not easy.

Lucas, who works in Web 3, has a deep feeling that he faces many problems when he is looking for a remote job. "All kinds of information on some platforms are mixed, and you will worry about whether the company is reliable. There are also some platforms that have fewer domestic jobs and need to spend a lot of time looking for them. "

Emily stepped in the pit in this respect. There is an unreliable platform for teaching Chinese as a foreign language, and the class fee can’t be withdrawn, which makes people angry.

In ord to find a reliable opportunity,Alex specially wrote a crawler to climb various technical communities and LinkedIn."As long as you find the relevant position, you will automatically email me, and I will check it immediately."

Xiaoyu "happened" to find a job in the digital vagrant community. "I just shared the copy I just finished with my partners, and I wanted to get a key and three links. I didn’t expect to get a job."

Xiaoyu was originally from the brand PR, and she is very familiar with all kinds of copywriting. The copywriting she just shared happened to be seen by Ellie in the group. Ellie is currently operating for an overseas company, just as a new product is on the line, and she needs to write a handwritten promotion copy. Before, the two had interaction in the digital homeless group. This "timing" was just right, and the two hit it off and started a "win-win" cooperation.

of course，There are also many digital vagrants who have chosen to realize from the media.Xia Mengren is one of them. In her view, self-media account is a bit like the logic of saving money-saving a little every day will inevitably add up, because it has compound interest.

When the road from the media went through, Xia Mengren found that the money earned by working in a big factory for so many years was not as much as that earned by digital vagrants in recent months. More and more, she feels how inefficient it is to make money by packing all her time and selling it to the company.

"It is impossible to get money at work, and going to work will only affect the speed of making money." Xia Meng people sincerely expressed their feelings.

coda

If you had a time machine, would you choose the past or the future? Some people choose to go back to the past, while others choose to go to the future.

In reality, everyone gave the answer.

Some digital vagrants have chosen to return to the big factory for a period of time;

Some people "never go to work in this life", pack up their bags and fly to the next destination;

Some people find new projects and start businesses in this process;

Some people return to the workplace again and make screws again.

As Fang Fang said, life is like a huge open-world game. You can choose to do the main task, get promoted and raised in a big factory, or choose the sideline treasure hunt, such as being a digital vagrant and exploring freelancing.

Many people have asked Sherry, where are you going next?

She can’t answer this question, but she knows that she will never stop exploring the world.

　　BEIJING, July 11 (Xinhua) According to the website of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, it was approved that in the first half of 2016, floods, wind and hail and geological disasters were the main natural disasters in China, and earthquakes, low-temperature freezing, droughts, snowstorms and forest fires also occurred to varying degrees. All kinds of natural disasters caused a total of 68.775 million people to be affected, 505 people died and 71 people were missing. The affected area of crops was 73.211 thousand hectares, and the direct economic loss was 89.04 billion yuan.

　　Recently, the Ministry of Civil Affairs and the Office of the National Disaster Reduction Committee, together with the Ministry of Land and Resources, the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, the Ministry of Transport, the Ministry of Water Resources, the Ministry of Agriculture, the Health and Family Planning Commission, the Bureau of Statistics, the Forestry Bureau, the Seismological Bureau, the Meteorological Bureau, the China Insurance Regulatory Commission, the Oceanic Administration, the Political Work Department of the Central Military Commission, the China Red Cross Society, China Railway Corporation and other departments, discussed and analyzed the national natural disasters in the first half of 2016.

　　It is approved that in the first half of 2016, floods, wind and hail and geological disasters were the main natural disasters in China, and earthquakes, low-temperature freezing, droughts, snowstorms and forest fires also occurred to varying degrees. All kinds of natural disasters have caused a total of 68.775 million people to be affected, 505 people were killed, 71 people were missing, 1.643 million people were transferred and resettled urgently, and 1.199 million people needed emergency life assistance; 104,000 houses collapsed and 1.112 million houses were damaged to varying degrees; The affected area of crops is 7321.1 thousand hectares, of which 784.1 thousand hectares will not be harvested; The direct economic loss was 89.04 billion yuan.

　　In the first half of 2016, natural disasters in the country mainly showed the following characteristics: First, the spatial and temporal distribution of disasters in the country was uneven. More than 1,800 counties (cities, districts) in 30 provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the Central Government) are affected by natural disasters to varying degrees. Compared with the same period since 2011, the number of dead and missing people is slightly higher, and the rest of the disaster indicators are lighter by more than 20%. In terms of disaster types, earthquake disasters and drought disasters are obviously lighter than normal, low-temperature freezing and snow disasters are the same as normal, floods and geological disasters are slightly heavier, and wind and hail disasters are obviously heavier; From the time point of view, from January to May, the national disaster situation was obviously light. In June, floods, wind and hail and geological disasters occurred suddenly and repeatedly, and the time period was relatively concentrated, and the disaster situation developed extremely rapidly. Regionally, compared with the same period in recent years, the disaster situation in Southwest and Northwest China is obviously lighter, but the disaster situation in East China is relatively heavy. The main disaster indicators are the second highest since 2011, and the number of people missing due to disasters exceeds the average of recent years by more than 2 times.

　　Second, there are frequent storms and floods in the south, and the pattern of disasters is obvious. Since the flood season began on March 21st, the national average precipitation has been more than 20% higher than normal, which is the highest in the same period of history since 1961. There have been more than 20 regional rainstorm processes in the southern region, which is the highest in the same period of history. There have been more than 20 floods in major rivers, and the total flood volume has been more than 30%. Affected by this, many major floods and geological disasters have occurred in many places in the south. In May, the mudslide in Taining, Fujian Province caused 36 deaths and disappearances. In the first half of June, the Jiangxi, Hunan and Guizhou regions and Anhui and Hubei provinces suffered major floods one after another, which seriously affected the economic and social development of the disaster areas and the safety of people’s lives and property.

　　In the first half of the year, floods (including geological disasters) caused 34.028 million people in more than 1,000 counties (cities and districts) in 26 provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the Central Government) to be affected, 367 people died and disappeared due to disasters, and 1.419 million people were resettled urgently; 68,000 houses collapsed and 469,000 houses were damaged to varying degrees; The affected area of crops is 2,636.6 thousand hectares, of which 329 thousand hectares will not be harvested; The direct economic loss was 45.51 billion yuan. Generally speaking, the floods and geological disasters in the first half of the year were basically the same as those in the same period of recent years, showing a pattern of "emphasizing the south but neglecting the north". The main disaster indicators in 13 southern provinces such as Hunan, Guizhou, Jiangxi, Hubei, Anhui and Fujian accounted for more than 70% of the country, and the number of people missing due to disasters accounted for more than 90%.

　　Third, there are many strong convective weather and the wind and hail disasters are prominent. Since the flood season, there have been 26 large-scale severe convective weather processes in China, which have affected more than 1,100 counties (cities, districts) in 30 provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the Central Government), ranking the second highest in the same period since 2011. Extreme weather events are obviously more frequent. The number of days of gale stations with magnitude 10 or above exceeds the sum of the past four years, and the number of heavy hail (with a diameter of more than 20 mm) is the highest in the same period since 2011.

　　In the first half of the year, the wind and hail disaster caused 17.822 million people to be affected, 191 people died and disappeared due to the disaster, and 75,000 people were urgently transferred and resettled; 35,000 houses collapsed and 486,000 houses were damaged to varying degrees; The affected area of crops is 2,142.2 thousand hectares, of which 246.7 thousand hectares will not be harvested; The direct economic loss was 21.4 billion yuan.

　　Generally speaking, the situation of wind and hail disasters is obviously biased, and the number of people who died and disappeared due to disasters and the direct economic losses are the highest since 2011. Among them, the disasters in Jiangsu, Shanxi, Xinjiang and Corps are the most prominent. On June 23, the tornado and hail disaster in Yancheng, Jiangsu Province killed 99 people. In the first half of June, the wind and hail disaster in Shanxi caused 140 thousand people to need emergency life assistance; In late June, the wind and hail disaster in Xinjiang and Corps caused about 100,000 hectares of crops to be affected (including 30,000 hectares), resulting in serious economic losses.

　　Fourth, the level of seismic activity is weak and the loss is obviously light. There were 9 earthquakes of magnitude 5 or above in Chinese mainland, including 2 earthquakes of magnitude 6 or above, the number of which was the least in the same period since 2011. The highest magnitude was the linkou county earthquake with a magnitude of 6.4 on January 2, and the Menyuan earthquake with a magnitude of 6.4 on January 21, Qinghai. The provinces where earthquakes with a magnitude of 5 or above occurred involved five provinces (autonomous regions) including Heilongjiang, Yunnan, Xizang, Qinghai and Xinjiang, and Xizang had the most occurrences (four times). Among them, the earthquake with M = 6.4 in Menyuan County, Qinghai Province on January 21st and the earthquake with M = 5.5 in Dingqing County, Xizang Province on May 11th caused the heaviest losses, which totally damaged 89,000 houses in Gansu, Qinghai and Xizang provinces (autonomous regions) to varying degrees, resulting in direct economic losses of 2.63 billion yuan. Overall, the earthquake disaster in the first half of the year was obviously lighter than that in the same period of recent years, and the main disaster indicators were the lowest values in the same period since 2011, and were less than the average value in 2011-2015 by more than 70%.

　　Fifth, the impact of drought is limited, and low-temperature freezing and snow disasters affect the south. Some areas in Inner Mongolia, North China, Huanghuai and Northwest China have suffered from droughts in spring and summer. Due to the timely rainfall in the later period, the losses caused by drought are obviously lighter than those in the same period of recent years, and the area affected by crops and crops are only about 10% of the average in the same period since 2011. China has suffered many large-scale cold waves, freezing rain, snow and freezing weather processes. Among them, the large-scale low-temperature freezing and snow disaster in the country was the most prominent in late January, with the maximum cooling range of 12℃-18℃. The southern cities such as Guangzhou and Nanning experienced snowfall for the first time in many years. In mid-May, most of the northwest was affected by the continuous strong cold air, and the sudden cooling caused the loss of crops such as corn and wheat to be prominent. In the first half of the year, 13.524 million people were affected by low-temperature freezing and snowstorm, and the affected area of crops was 17.119 thousand hectares, of which 1.577 thousand hectares were rejected and the direct economic loss was 16.71 billion yuan. Generally speaking, the disasters of low temperature freezing and snowstorm are close to the same period in recent years.

　　According to the statistics released by the Pan American Health Organization, the overall incidence of dengue fever has been on the rise in many Latin American countries recently. Since 2023, the number of dengue cases in some countries in Central America, the Andean region and Caribbean countries including Cuba and Dominica has increased significantly, and some parts of some countries have declared a state of emergency.

　　Up to now, Peru has reported more than 76,000 cases of dengue fever, including 82 deaths. The number of cases of dengue fever in Lima, the capital, has increased fivefold compared with 2022, and the Peruvian government has declared a 120-day state of emergency in 20 regions. 333 people have died of dengue fever in Brazil this year. There are more than 20,000 cases of dengue fever in Bolivia, including 69 deaths. La Paz, the capital of Bolivia, issued an epidemiological red alert after the dengue fever epidemic expanded. Argentina has reported more than 93,000 confirmed cases of dengue fever and 56 deaths. Colombia has recorded over 28,000 cases of dengue fever this year. In addition, Costa Rica, Panama and Honduras reported 974 cases, 1,278 cases and 2,803 cases of dengue fever respectively.

　　Dengue fever is an acute viral infection spread by mosquitoes, and its typical symptoms include fever, headache and joint pain. Dengue fever is divided into common dengue fever and hemorrhagic dengue fever, and the latter has a higher mortality rate. The Pan American Health Organization warned that in the hottest and wettest months, the spread of dengue fever tends to expand. Maria Carmen, executive secretary of the Andean Health Organization, pediatrician and public health expert, believes that climate change makes the temperature higher. "The shortage of tap water and the imperfect drainage system force people in some areas to store clean water, which provides a favorable environment for the breeding of mosquitoes."

　　In some Latin American countries, the primary health care force and medical facilities are weak, which makes the treatment of severe dengue patients face challenges. According to the Ombudsman’s Office of Peru, in areas with high incidence of dengue fever, medical institutions are overwhelmed, the actual nursing demand is eight times that of nursing capacity, and some drugs are in short supply.

　　In order to control the spread of dengue fever, many health departments have taken emergency measures to deal with it. The Bolivian government has formulated a plan to fight dengue fever, carry out community cleaning and set up mobile medical points. Argentina’s health department has carried out large-scale mosquito control work throughout the country, and adopted anti-mosquito measures such as installing gauze. Peruvian health and epidemic prevention personnel go door-to-door to disinfect, publicize dengue fever prevention and control knowledge to the public, and distribute mosquito repellent supplies free of charge. Rosa Gutierrez palomino, Minister of Health of Peru, has asked people to take emergency preventive measures and follow the recommendations of the health department. At the same time, the country has allocated 35 million soles (1 yuan RMB is about 0.53 soles) to deal with this public health emergency.
