The novel coronavirus is still arrogant. What we are most concerned about is how to avoid meeting with the virus.

1. What is the transmission route of coronavirus?

• spread by respiratory droplets such as coughing, sneezing, etc.;

• spread by touching or shaking hands, etc.;

• spread indirectly by touching objects or surfaces with virus, touching mouth, nose or eyes, etc. before hand washing;

• in rare cases, spread by faces.

2. What are the main ways for viruses to enter the eyes?

One is to "drill" into the eyes directly in the form of droplets, while the other is to "rub the eyes" with your hands that may be infected with the virus.

On February 6, 2020, Lu Chengwei, the ophthalmologist team of the First Affiliated Hospital of Jilin University, published in the international top medical journal Lancet

The novel coronavirus was published by the Internet on the topic of "2019-nCoV transmission through the ocular surface must not be ignored".

Therefore, the respiratory tract may not be the only route of transmission of 2019 ncov.

Another expert said: there is scientific evidence that conjunctiva can infect many diseases, including H1N1 influenza virus and adenovirus. In the case of coronavirus, such as during the SARS epidemic, who has also published reports that conjunctiva or tears are not excluded as a kind of humoral transmission.

On August 28, the wechat company of Zhejiang University released an article titled "Zhejiang University team first found new coronavirus in tears and conjunctival secretions, and was alert to new ways of transmission".

3, if novel coronavirus is infected during the epidemic, what are the symptoms?

Clinical manifestations may be conjunctivitis, such as tears, eye congestion or conjunctival edema, watery or mucoid secretion and conjunctival punctate hemorrhage.

The hand touches the object with virus, and then touches the mucous membrane of itself to spread the infection, such as rubbing eyes, touching nose and mouth, etc. But it's a hidden process that's easy to ignore. Novel coronavirus should be avoided by rubbing hands and rubbing the eyes.            Although it is not very certain to infect the new coronavirus through the conjunctiva, it is necessary to take necessary protective measures and cut off the transmission path effectively.

4, how to novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) infection without protecting your eyes scientifically?

When talking with strangers or in the air, droplets and aerosol particles from the mouth fly into the conjunctival sac of our eyes. In case of suspected contact, it is best to wash your eyes with Nessler eye wash immediately. After a day's work, clean your eyes; after going to public, clean your eyes and don't take the virus home.            CCTV reporter is held in the eye by a nurse            15:30, March 7, 2020, cctv.com            Yesterday, CCTV reporters in Wuhan hospital isolation area after reporting, take off protective clothing, goggles inadvertently rub against the eyes.
