　　Epidemic prevention tips

　　Zhong Nanshan said that we have isolated live Covid-19 from patients’ feces, suggesting that the sewer may be a new source of infection. Covid-19 is not infected by eating in the digestive tract, but pollutants such as feces are stuck in the sewer, which contains viruses after drying. After being blown into the air by blast, the gas is inhaled by people (also called aerosol), which creates the risk of infection. Accordingly, he once again called for the sewer to be unobstructed and clean to minimize the risk of infection.
