According to Liang Zichao, chairman of the Infectious Diseases Advisory Committee of the Hong Kong Medical Association, contact transmission includes direct contact and indirect contact. The two are directly in close contact with the patient and exposure to the virus through third-party media, and then touch their eyes, ears, nose and nose, and they will have the opportunity to be infected. Therefore, he urged the public to wear masks and wash their hands frequently to avoid infection after contact with the virus.

Liang Zichao further explained that direct contact is that the public has close contact with the patient, such as contact with the patient's skin. Liang Xu pointed out that the fly may spread to his hands and feet during the cough. If the person concerned comes into direct contact with the patient, and then touches his eyes, ears, nose and nose, there will be a chance of infection.
In the case of indirect contact, it is a virus or adhesion to other places such as hospital beds, patients' clothing or masks. If a third party touches such objects, they may also be infected by touching their eyes, ears, nose and nose.

Liang Zichao added that the public must also handle masks carefully in addition to wearing masks. Because of the blocked flying larvae bacteria, if they are not handled properly during the masking period, they will contact the eyes, ears, nose and nose, although the transmission risk is lower than the direct flying larvae infection , But there are risks.
As for the government's announcement today, except for the provision of emergency and necessary public service personnel, government employees can stay at home and work from tomorrow (29th), tentatively until February 2. Liang Zichao said that instead of requiring organizations to arrange employees to work from home, the government has taken effective border measures to better intercept the source of the virus.
