The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) [2019-nCoV; severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2)] was first detected in Wuhan, China at the end of 2019. In current status, spread of COVID-19 in person-to-person could be caused mainly by respiratory droplets, which leads to the spread of the influenza virus in both community and clinicians. Thus, in order to reduce the risk of that, the urgent management strategies against COVID-19 are to block transmission, isolation, protection, and using drug or vaccine updated on an ongoing basis. unfortunately, no drugs or vaccines still has yet been allowed to treat patients with COVID-19, so the rapid detection of effective intercessions against COVID-19 is seemed a major challenge on the all world. Herein, this article attempts summarizing to introduce the characterization of COVID-19, the influence of droplets travel in person-to-person transmission and the effect of wearing masks in the infection prevention of influenza virus, as well as understanding its advantage and role in the coronavirus infection prevention.
2019年冠状病毒病(COVID-19)[2019新型冠状病毒;严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2(SARS-CoV-2)]于2019年底在中国武汉首次被发现。目前,COVID-19的人际传播主要可能由呼吸道飞沫引起,这导致流感病毒在社区和临床医生中传播。因此,为了降低这种风险,针对COVID-19的紧急管理策略是阻断传播、隔离、防护以及持续更新使用药物或疫苗。不幸的是,目前仍没有药物或疫苗被允许用于治疗COVID-19患者,因此快速检测针对COVID-19的有效干预措施似乎是全球面临的一项重大挑战。在此,本文试图总结介绍COVID-19的特征、飞沫传播在人际传播中的影响以及戴口罩在预防流感病毒感染中的作用,以及了解其在预防冠状病毒感染中的优势和作用。
