Good morning

Asymptomatic infection of COVID-19 is a prominent hidden danger in epidemic control, and is also highly concerning to the public. 
On March 30, Zhejiang announced that all asymptomatic infected persons should be managed strictly in accordance with the requirements for confirmed cases. Once found, the asymptomatic patients should be immediately admitted to designated hospitals for 14 days of centralized isolation. At the end of the isolation, they need to be negative for nucleic acid tests twice in a row, and the sampling interval should be more than 24 hours. After finishing the isolation in the designated hospital, they should be transferred to a centralized isolation place for a further 14-day observation.
In Zhejiang, laboratory tests are carried out for all inbound travelers who enter the province before taking and finishing a centralized isolation to screen out people with asymptomatic infections. Once found, epidemiological investigation will be carried out immediately to find possible close contacts, and corresponding measures will be taken to ensure that the infection route is cut off at the first time.

Can the COVID-19 virus spread through water?

 

Can the COVID-19 virus spread through drinking water?


  • The COVID-19 virus has not been detected in drinking water. Conventional water treatment methods that use filtration and disinfection, such as those in most municipal drinking water systems, should remove or inactivate the virus that causes COVID-19.

 


Can the COVID-19 virus spread through pools and hot tubs?


  • There is no evidence that COVID-19 can be spread to humans through the use of pools and hot tubs. Proper operation, maintenance, and disinfection (e.g., with chlorine and bromine) of pools and hot tubs should remove or inactivate the virus that causes COVID-19.

 

Can the COVID-19 virus spread through sewerage systems?


  • CDC is reviewing all data on COVID-19 transmission as information becomes available. At this time, the risk of transmission of the virus that causes COVID-19 through sewerage systems is thought to be low. Although transmission of COVID-19 through sewage may be possible, there is no evidence to date that this has occurred. This guidance will be updated as necessary as new evidence is assessed.


Self-Protection in Elevators During COVID-19 Pandemic



Confined spaces such as in elevators are easy conduits for viral transmission during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, it's hard for people who live in high-rise buildings to skip taking elevators.

  • Wear a face mask before entering an elevator.


  • Avoid taking crowded elevators or the ones with people coughing inside, one of the coronavirus symptoms.

  • Clean your hands thoroughly afterward.
