The Mainland expert group announced this morning that the virus that causes unidentified pneumonia in Wuhan is a new type of coronavirus, but it is expected that scientific research such as pathogen isolation and pathogenicity identification will still take several weeks.

He Bailiang said that the new virus is transmitted by droplets, so citizens need to improve their personal hygiene and wear disposable surgical masks in crowded places; usually clean their hands and carry alcohol hand rubs. He also pointed out that the SARS outbreak in 2003 and the Middle East respiratory syndrome outbreak in 2012 were coronaviruses. At that time, patients could have a large amount of human-transmissible coronavirus in their urine or feces, so he reminded the public to use public toilets. When disinfecting the toilet board, cover the toilet board to flush the toilet, and clean your hands thoroughly after using the toilet. He urged the public to wear a mask if they have symptoms of respiratory infections and cover their nose and nose when sneezing.
