Win the epidemic prevention and control resistance war and cut off oral transmission of feces from the source.
The news that novel coronavirus may spread through fecal mouths has aroused great public concern and discussion. At the press conference held by the National Health Commission, Feng Luzhao, a researcher from the Infectious Diseases Department of the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, said that novel coronavirus had been detected in the feces of the confirmed patients in Wuhan, Shenzhen and the first cases in the United States in the past two days. Academician Zhong Nanshan said that novel coronavirus may be transmitted through fecal oral transmission. Since viruses have been found in feces, it is highly vigilant whether feces are infected with viruses. The National Health Commission announced the "Diagnosis and Treatment Plan for novel coronavirus Pneumonia (Trial Version 7)" on the 4th, adding that "since novel coronavirus can be isolated in feces and urine, attention should be paid to the aerosol or contact transmission caused by feces and urine on environmental pollution", and the possibility of fecal oral transmission of the virus was officially included in the diagnosis and treatment plan, attracting much attention.
