On 17 July 2020, National Health Commission expert group expert and Deputy Director of the China CDC Emergency Center Shi Guoqing said at a press conference that, like other viruses, SARS-CoV-2 can only be found in humans and their hosts. The intermediate host proliferates in living cells, and will not replicate and proliferate in the external environment. Therefore, there will be no increase in the number of covi that pollute the environment and objects. Once dead or inactivated by disinfectants, there will be no covi that can infect people.
The public places involved in the epidemic, including the places where the virus and the infected person worked or visited, have been completely isolated from the patient and the infected person. The polluted environment and items have also been cleaned and thoroughly disinfected. At the same time, the disinfection effect evaluation is also qualified. Then the environment in public places is safe. After the relevant staff have undergone quarantine medical observation and nucleic acid testing, and no infection has occurred, public places can be reopened. After reopening, the daily prevention and control of other similar public places is no different. The public can go out with confidence.
