As we know, the main ways of transmission of new coronavirus are: respiratory droplet transmission, direct contact transmission and aerosol transmission.

So in addition to the mouth and nose, the eyes can also be infected with the new coronavirus?

--Is it possible to get infected by "just looking at it"?

--No! This is not scientific!

For example, if you shake hands with a carrier or touch a doorknob with the virus, and then rub your eyes, you will bring the virus to the conjunctiva of your eyes, leading to eye infection. Because the conjunctiva is exposed mucosal tissue, the cell surface has receptive bodies for new coronavirus binding, and the conjunctival sac tear duct is connected to the nasal tract. The eye is connected to the respiratory tract through the tear duct, so there are conditions in the eye for the transmission of neocoronavirus to the respiratory tract. It can be seen that the transmission of external new coronavirus, in addition to the respiratory tract there are eyes.

Qin Chuan's team at the Institute of Medical Laboratory Animal Research, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, on novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19), transmitted through the conjunctival route, demonstrated that rhesus monkeys can be infected with the new coronavirus through the conjunctival route, and the virus will be transferred from the conjunctiva to the respiratory tract and other tissues after 1 day of infection.

This shows that the eye can be a route of transmission of neo-coronavirus, so the risk of ocular transmission exists in areas where neo-coronavirus patients congregate, if the concentration of virus aerosols in the air is high. Medical personnel who come into contact with neo-coronary patients must wear goggles; the general public is not in such a ward, so goggles are not needed. However, the virus may be present on the surface of objects such as doors and guardrails in the public environment and be touched by hands. If you rub your eyes with your hands at this time, the virus may enter your eyes in the process, and then spread to the respiratory tract. Therefore, even if you wear a mask, you should pay attention to hand hygiene, wash your hands regularly, and avoid rubbing your eyes with your hands!

Then, if you know that the eye infection, how to detect the virus with the New Crown Nucleic Acid Rapid Test, directly from the eye sampling?

Are you funny? After 1 day of infection, the virus is transferred from the conjunctiva to the respiratory tract! When doing the rapid test for Nucleic acid in the new crown, directly from the throat or nasal cavity and other places to sample it.

Recently, the domestic epidemic has shown signs of "rise", the whole staff nucleic acid screening to control the spread and spread of the epidemic has played a great role, especially the new crown nucleic acid rapid test products.
