In addition to respiratory droplet transmission, the novel coronavirus also includes contact transmission (direct contact and indirect contact): 1. Direct contact: mainly refers to contact with the secretions of the infected person, such as tears, saliva, vomit, urine, etc.; 2. Indirect contact: mainly refers to contamination with objects containing the virus, such as cell phones, tables, door handles, etc.
Therefore, shaking hands, hugging or touching the same object together with a newly crowned pneumonia-infected person, and then rubbing eyes, picking nose and touching mouth with contaminated hands may cause infection. In life, you should pay attention to good personal protection, keep a safe distance of more than one meter from strangers, wear a mask when you go out, wash your hands regularly, and do not touch objects in public.
