On March 22, Wu Zunyou, chief epidemiologist of the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, introduced at the press conference of the State Council’s Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism that in the past two years of new crown prevention and control, it was found that the new crown virus may be transmitted through “material transmission.” ” way to cause infection, but its role in the spread of the epidemic is very limited. These transmission routes can be cut off simply and effectively by washing hands, and keeping hands clean and hygienic can effectively reduce the risk of new coronavirus infection.
In daily work and life, people’s hands come into contact with objects contaminated with bacteria or viruses. If they cannot wash their hands properly in time, the bacteria or viruses on the hands can enter the human body through touching the mouth, eyes, and nose.
Respiratory infectious diseases are mainly transmitted through close-range droplets, and can also be caused by touching the surface of contaminated objects with hands. Therefore, in the prevention of new coronary pneumonia, we emphasize hand hygiene as an important personal protection measure.
