NBS: CPI grows by 5.4%

Aerosol transmission of virus?

The novel coronavirus normally does not suspend or float in the air for long, and currently no evidence has shown that the new virus can be transmitted through aerosol, Feng Luzhao, a researcher of infectious diseases at the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, said at a press conference on Sunday. 

中国疾病预防控制中心传染病预防控制处研究员冯录召9日在记者会上表示，新型冠状病毒一般不会在空气长期漂浮，目前没有证据显示新型冠状病毒通过气溶胶传播。

The virus is mainly transmitted via respiratory droplets and contact, said Feng, adding that the virus is normally transmitted within a range of one to two meters. 

冯录召说，新型冠状病毒主要通过呼吸道飞沫传播和接触传播，而飞沫传播的距离一般在1至2米。

He suggested the public open windows to help with ventilation at least twice a day, which is effective to lower the risks of getting infected.

他建议每天至少两次开窗通风，这是降低感染风险的有效措施。
