   A group of experts from the State Health Committee of China has warned on Tuesday that people can become infected with the coronavirus 2019-nCoV, which causes a new type of fatal pneumonia, from a distance of up to two meters.

"Everyone should wear protective masks and minimize the number of close physical contacts ," said Li Xingwang, one of those experts.

"By saying 'close' we mean a distance of between one and two meters : the infection can occur from that distance," said the official.

People's Daily Online, Beijing, January 28 (Reporter Yang Di) On the 28th, the National Health and Health Commission held a press conference to introduce the situation of "sending medical teams to support Hubei in fighting the epidemic." Li Xingwang, a member of the National Medical Expert Group and the chief expert of the Infectious Diseases Diagnosis and Research Center of Beijing Ditan Hospital, reminded the general public to wear masks to minimize close contact. At present, the so-called short distance is mainly between 1-2 meters Or a distance of 1.5 meters may cause transmission and need to be protected.

Li Xingwang said that as people in infected areas spilled over to all parts of the country, cases may have spread in many parts of the country. Among close contacts of sporadic cases, it has been observed that there may be asymptomatic infections. Although asymptomatic, nucleic acid tests are positive. There are also some patients with such symptoms, such as fever is not obvious, occasional dry cough or fatigue, these patients are also found after we actively search and increase the detection ability. Such patients, from the perspective of infectious disease laws, also have a certain spreading power, which brings certain difficulties and complexity to the prevention and control work. However, from the main way of spreading the disease, it is mainly transmitted by close-up droplets. Cough symptoms of mild patients are generally relatively small. So from this perspective, it may not be so powerful.

In addition, more asymptomatic infections are now found in close contacts. These close contacts are now undergoing medical observations according to current requirements. They may not go to public places for free activities, or more. Isolation at home will ensure control of the source of infection. Therefore, it is more important to control the source of infection so that the spread of the epidemic can be alleviated to the greatest extent.
