Can the unknown pneumonia in Wuhan be spread through express delivery? How can the unknown pneumonia in Wuhan be spread?

We all know that there have been many cases of unknown pneumonia in Wuhan, and many people have been infected with the new coronavirus. Its initial symptoms are mainly coughing, fever and other cold-like symptoms, and it is contagious. So can the unknown pneumonia in Wuhan be transmitted through express delivery? Let's take a closer look!

Will the unknown pneumonia in Wuhan be transmitted via express delivery?

The unknown pneumonia in Wuhan is generally not spread through express delivery. Items are generally not a source of infection and it is difficult for the virus to spread.

Generally speaking, the biggest concern when a new virus that infects the lungs is that it can be spread from person to person, because coughing and sneezing are very effective ways to spread the virus. If human-to-human transmission occurs, you can expect cases of infection among health care workers because they have close contact with patients. But so far, there have been no reports of such cases.

What are the transmission routes of the unknown pneumonia in Wuhan?

Between people, coronavirus can:

①Spread through the air through sneezing and coughing

② Spread through physical contact such as handshakes

③ The virus is spread by touching the surface of an object that has the virus without washing your hands, and then touching your eyes, nose, or mouth

④ And in rare cases, it can be transmitted through feces

In addition to humans, coronaviruses can also infect many other mammals, including pigs, cattle, cats, dogs, minks, camels, bats, mice, hedgehogs, and many birds.

How to prevent unknown pneumonia in Wuhan

There are no antiviral drugs that are as effective as antibiotics. Viruses use host cells to multiply. Vaccination is the best option for viruses, but it may take several years to develop a new vaccine for a new virus. Therefore, self-protection is the most effective measure to prevent infection:

① Maintain basic hand and respiratory hygiene

②Adhere to safe eating habits

③Avoid close contact with anyone showing symptoms of respiratory illness (such as coughing and sneezing) as much as possible

④Try not to go out. The second thing is to wear a mask, wash your hands frequently and eat cooked food. The situation may not be serious, but why take the risk? It is not difficult to take some protection. For individuals, life is only 0% and 100%. Choose N95/KN95/medical surgical masks, preferably without a breathing valve. Pay attention to using the nose clip when wearing it. The price of 3M is rising sharply now, you can consider buying other brands that meet the same standards.
