Rumor identification: The new coronavirus can be transmitted by contact. Rumor analysis: The transmission of the new coronavirus includes the following: 1, respiratory droplet transmission: patients sneezing, coughing droplets can enter the susceptible mucosal surface through a certain distance thus causing infection. 2, contact transmission: including direct and indirect contact. Direct contact means being infected through contact with the patient’s secretions; while indirect contact means being infected through physical contact with the virus-contaminated objects. Since the virus is inactivated only after 30 minutes at 56°C, the virus that has not yet been inactivated by adhering to an object is still infectious. Special tips: The main preventive measures for the new coronavirus are as follows: 1. Wear medical surgical masks and N95 masks when you go out; 2. Avoid going to crowded places and keep indoor ventilation; 3. Wash your hands with soap or hand sanitizer containing alcohol in time after touching public supplies, and avoid touching your mouth, nose and eyes with dirty hands.
