Pneumonia pathogen transmission by aerosol means that some of the droplets of pneumonia patients contain pathogenic bacteria, and when the droplets are mixed in the air they form an aerosol, which is inhaled by the human body and leads to infection.
Aerosols are gaseous dispersion systems composed of solid or liquid particles suspended in a gaseous medium. Flying aerosol transmission is the mode of transmission for a variety of pneumonias, such as the current case of neococcal pneumonia.
Aerosols are one of the vectors of neocoronavirus transmission, and when the virus is exposed to a localized aerosol system, there is a high likelihood that it will be dispersed with the aerosol and aerosol transmission will occur.
To prevent neocoronavirus infection, it is important to take care of personal protection, try not to leave the house, reduce the chance of contact with the virus, and avoid being present in places where people gather. Wear a good mask in a crowded confined space, do not contact with strangers, and keep a distance of more than one meter to cut off the means of transmission. Open more windows for natural ventilation, disinfection, reduce its activity and concentration, reduce the possibility of disease transmission.
