Patients with novel coronaviruses can be infected through the conjunctiva of the eye. From the currently available evidence of infectious and epidemiologic investigations, there are three main ways of transmission of novel coronavirus: 1. Transmission through respiratory mucosa: contact with the patient droplets or aerosols and lead to infection; 2. Transmission through mucous membranes: contact with the patient’s secretions, such as the patient’s sputum, snot, or pharyngeal mucus, hand contact after touching the conjunctiva of the eyes, the mucous membranes of the nose, which can lead to the transmission of the novel coronavirus; 3, fecal-oral transmission: has not been fully confirmed. Coronavirus detected in the patient’s feces, fecal contamination of water or contaminated food, whether eating contaminated food and water can lead to coronavirus transmission has not yet been confirmed, but it is still prudent to avoid contact with food or water in this area, which may also reduce the risk of infection by coronavirus.
