Stool or novel coronavirus, you can't imagine the toilet.

The novel coronavirus novel coronavirus was detected in the feces of some patients with pneumonia confirmed by the Shenzhen Third People's Hospital in February 1st According to the official micro-blog of Shenzhen Health Committee, the 2019-nCoV nucleic acid (new coronavirus) was detected in stool of some new coronavirus infected patients It is possible to show that live virus exists in the stool A novel coronavirus infection in the stool of pneumonia patients is likely to exist live virus What does this mean? How can we further prevent and control? The reporter of people's network interviewed Xiao Yonghong, chief physician of infectious diseases department of the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University Medical College and vice chairman of the infection control branch of Chinese Preventive Medicine Association "What people.com.cn" novel coronavirus infection in patients with pneumonia, if there is a live virus, what does it mean? Xiao Yonghong: if the virus is living, it may be transmitted through the fecal mouth People's network: what is "faecal oral communication"? Xiao Yonghong: the so-called fecal oral transmission refers to the presence of pathogens in the patient's feces, which may cause environmental, water or food pollution after being discharged from the body People may be infected after being exposed to these pollutants This is actually one of the transmission ways of many infectious diseases In addition, contact transmission may also be a form of fecal oral transmission: people come into contact with objects contaminated by virus particles in feces, and then infect the disease through respiratory tract or digestive tract Novel coronavirus: people.com.cn: if the new coronavirus does exist, how should we prevent it? Xiao Yonghong: compared with respiratory tract transmission, fecal oral transmission may be weaker and the prevention method is simpler In short, wash your hands frequently, and wash your hands before eating or drinking water, so as to achieve better communication prevention effect What's more worrying is that the patient's excrement will form small particles in the process of toilet flushing, which may become the way of respiratory tract infection after generating water mist Therefore, some disinfection measures should also be taken for toilets and toilets, such as the use of chlorine containing detergent In addition to wearing masks and avoiding contact with other members, people who have close contact with the confirmed cases should use the toilet alone instead of sharing the toilet with their families In the absence of conditions, it should be disinfected in time to reduce pollution It's better to cover the toilet when flushing, so as to reduce the generation of water mist People's network of "strengthening sewer tightness": is it possible for virus carriers to cause large-scale infection in the community through sewers or other ways after using toilets? Xiao Yonghong: this situation is possible The virus carriers, especially those in the gastrointestinal tract, may pollute the whole sewer system through the sewer People's network: how to prevent this situation? Xiao Yonghong: some problems need to be paid attention to in the residential area where the sewer is not very strict For example, if there is backwater or water leakage in the sewer, the closestool or toilet should be sealed In some rural areas where latrines are used, they need to be disinfected regularly People's network: how should rural latrines be disinfected? Xiao Yonghong: Generally speaking, the virus doesn't last very long in the cesspool in the countryside Therefore, disinfectant and bleaching powder can achieve a better disinfection effect If there is an infected or suspected case in a village, the septic tank or toilet can be disinfected with bleaching powder, or the purpose of prevention can be achieved Novel coronavirus: how long does people.com.cn live in feces or septic tanks? Xiao Yonghong: there is no specific research at present From the past virus situation, the survival time of this RNA virus is not very long, generally about 1-3 days "Need to pay more attention to toilet disinfection" people's network: what warning will this research findings bring to epidemic prevention and control? Xiao Yonghong: in fact, it has been written in the prevention and control guidelines issued by the state before that, the patient's excrement and vomit should be treated strictly and disinfected according to the way of hospital infection However, it needs to be emphasized that the toilets used by patients may not be strictly disinfected in the past Now we need to pay more attention to the disinfection of toilets We need to pay attention to the treatment of excreta of patients, suspects, and home isolators We need to use toilets alone to strictly disinfect the surfaces of toilets and objects that these people have used In addition, the relevant sewage treatment links need to strictly implement the national harmless treatment standards Under the compliant sewage treatment mode, it should be able to ensure the killing of viruses In clinical practice, there is a possibility that the first person to contact the patient may not be a respiratory doctor, but also a digestive doctor The patient's initial symptoms may be diarrhea, so digestive doctors should be alert and pay attention to such patients People's Daily: what else would you like to emphasize for ordinary people at home? Xiao Yonghong: we ordinary people still need to remember that we should wear masks when we go out No matter when we go out or when we go home, we must wash our hands first Before preparing food or eating food, we must also wash our hands thoroughly and try not to eat raw and cold food Source: penicillin of renmin.com
