(New York News) Research in Japan found that after 17 days of the death of the dead disease, the remains may still spread the virus. Researchers reminded the family members and hospital workers who might contact the remains to take preventive measures.
The New York Times reported on Thursday (December 15) that Hisako Saitoh, a researcher at Chiba University in Japan, recently published two research reports on the infectious body of coronary disease.
Saito and colleagues pointed out in the report that the body of the crown disease may carry a large amount of infectious virus, and the proportion of viruses in the lungs of the deceased is more than the upper respiratory tract.
It is worth noting that hamsters dying in crown disease can also transmit viruses to live hamsters in cages.
Researchers say that the accumulated gas accumulation may carry the virus and discharge through any hole in the body, including the mouth, nose, ears, and anus. However, if these parts are blocked with cotton pads, the virus will be prevented.
Facing higher risk of infection is mostly those who can directly contact the remains, including pathologists, corpses, medical staff, and family members who may dress and clean up the body.
But experts emphasize that the risk of transmission of live -bodies crown disease is still much greater than the deceased of the crown disease. It is unlikely that the bodies to spread viruses are unlikely to be the main factor in great popularity.
Although this study has not been reviewed by the peers and has not been published in scientific journals.But external experts believe that the study is well done and the results are credible.
Saito said: "In some countries, the body of the crown disease is led home or stored in a place where no one is in charge. Therefore, I think it is necessary to let the public master this aspect."
