Novel coronavirus pneumonia is a respiratory disease. However, with the increasing understanding of the disease and the clinical finding that novel coronaviruses with biological activity have also been detected in patients’ feces, new questions have been raised that fecal contamination may also be a potential mode of transmission if novel coronaviruses are also active in feces. Therefore, special attention should be paid to frequent hand washing, frequent disinfection of the environment, especially with unobstructed sewers, and suspected aerosolized forms of transmission. The risk of aerosolized forms of transmission may be closely related to these, and special attention should be paid to them. Content source: Dr. Yurai
