The new coronavirus can be transmitted through contact How is the new coronavirus transmitted?

We all know that the new coronavirus is a highly contagious new virus that can be spread from person to person. It is a respiratory infection virus. The initial symptoms are very similar to those of a cold, but it is more difficult to treat. So what are the transmission routes of the new coronavirus? Let's take a closer look!

The new coronavirus can be spread through contact

In addition to sneezing droplets, it can also be transmitted through contact! My understanding is that when a person with the virus touches an object, a normal person will touch the object and get the virus. If you don't wash your hands in time, you may get infected by rubbing your eyes or picking your nose!

I think we should not only wear masks but also gloves. Everyone should go out less, don’t touch things randomly, and use gloves more often. For example, don’t press the elevator button directly with your hands. The railings and door handles are dirty. If you touch them with your hands, there will be risks if you touch your mouth, nose, and eyes. Remember to disinfect when you get home. It is important to wash your hands frequently!

I think everyone should know the knowledge of epidemic prevention and control. The new coronavirus can be transmitted through contact, so now we should popularize the prevention and control knowledge from official diagnosis and treatment to effectively prevent infection. Now you need to wear a mask and avoid contact with patients. For example, when you go out and meet some strangers, don't have other contact. The current news is that you can also be infected with the new coronavirus through contact transmission.

How the novel coronavirus spreads

Coronaviruses spread from person to person, usually when someone comes into contact with secretions from an infected person. The infectiousness of the virus directly affects the route of transmission. The route of transmission of the currently circulating new coronavirus is still unclear, but based on past experience, contact with bodily fluids splashed by an infected person's cough or sneeze, or shaking hands with an infected person may lead to infection. If your hands touch something that an infected person has touched, and then touch your own mouth, nose or eyes, the virus may also be transmitted.

The virus is spreading faster and faster, and there are more and more ways to spread it. But if we cut off the source of transmission, it is possible to prevent the virus from spreading again.

Judging from the current situation, more and more people are wearing masks when going out, and everyone is paying more and more attention to the virus. This is a good phenomenon, and the speed of testing is also getting faster and faster.

1. It shows that the situation is becoming more and more serious, and more and more people are involved. Many people may have been infected in the early stages.

Second, the number of cases did not increase suddenly, but people who could not be diagnosed before due to insufficient equipment conditions were diagnosed. With the efforts of the whole society in recent days, the screening capabilities and technical means for patients have become stronger and stronger, and people who could not be diagnosed before can also be diagnosed. The introduction of new screening technology will only be beneficial and not harmful to controlling the spread of the virus.

3. Especially at this time, we must be more calm, do not make rumors, do not spread rumors, do not believe rumors, stay at home, do not go out, do not gather, do not visit, do not gather in crowds, wash hands frequently, wear masks, ventilate more, avoid game, eat cooked food, follow the doctor's advice, and do not panic!

Prevention of Novel Coronavirus

1. Wash your hands frequently and keep them clean, especially after coughing, sneezing, and before and after meals.

2. Please wear a mask when going out, especially when visiting the hospital or accompanying someone to see a doctor.

3. Avoid going to closed, poorly ventilated public places and crowded places.

4. Keep the indoor air circulating, cover your mouth and nose with a tissue or bent elbow when coughing or sneezing to prevent the spread of droplets.

5. Develop good and safe eating habits, use separate cutting boards and knives for raw and cooked food, and cook meat and eggs thoroughly when cooking.

6. Try to avoid contact with wild or farmed animals without protection.
