Chinese scientists warn: Coronavirus can be carried through the eyes

The renowned Chinese expert Wang Guangfa said he feared he had contracted the SARS-like virus because he did not wear protective glasses. According to the Daily Mail, other experts have confirmed that it is absolutely possible for the virus to enter through the eyes. Also, they warn that the virus, thought to spread through coughing and sneezing -- can move into the body by going into the eye.

Paul Kellam, professor of virus genomes at the Imperial College London, also indicated that it can contract the virus through the eyes.

If there are any sneezing points from you, they will be carried by your nose, in your eye,” he told MailOnline.

Your eyes are tied to your nose through the lab channel, he added. If you suffer from allergies and your eyes tear, so do your nose. Or if you put drugs in your eyes, you'll feel it in the back of your throat. It is not uncommon for flu and other viruses to be transmitted this way. You can also get respiratory infections through the eye. ”

According to expert Kellam, this is why health - care workers should wear protective glasses, as only masks are not enough.

Dr. Michael Head, a senior associate of scientific research in global health at Southampton University, supported the claims of Professor Kellam.

Transmation of the virus potentially affects the eyes, which makes it easier to spread from one person to the next”

Dr. Guangfa was part of an expert team that visited Wuhan earlier this month, where the virus first emerged.

I was diagnosed and my condition is now good,” he told Cable television.

Coronavirus has so far taken the lives of 41 people in China, while more than 900 people have so far been infected worldwide.

The World Health Organization has declared global health emergencies yesterday.

Coronervirus symptoms begin with fever, dry coughs, and sneezing. This is followed by panting and can eventually develop into pneumonia.

What is Coronavius?

Chinese virus has been identified as a new type of coronary. Coronavirus is a large family of pathogens, most of which cause soft respiratory infections such as the common cold.

But coronarys can also be deadly. THE SARS, or acutely severe respiratory syndrome caused by one coronary killed hundreds of people in China and Hong Kong in the early 2000 ' s.

Can this virus kill?

Yeah. 41 people have so far died after being diagnosed with the virus.

Symptoms

Its symptoms are usually manifested by fever, cough, and respiratory problems, but some patients have also developed pneumonia - a potentially life - threatening infection that causes inflammation of small air bags in the lungs. The people who carry the Roman coronary can only have mild symptoms, such as throat pain. Experts fear they might assume they have a common cold and not seek medical attention.

Can we recover from this virus?

Coronavirus Wuhan can't currently be cured. Antibiotics don't work against viruses, so they can't use them. Antiviral drugs can heal it, but the process of understanding a virus, then developing and producing drugs to treat it, would take years and large amounts of money.

No vaccine still exists for the coronary.

How did it begin to spread?

The first identified cases were on Juanan Sea's majority market in Wuhan

What are countries doing to prevent spread?

Asian countries have increased airport supervision, including Japan, South Korea, Thailand, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Malaysia, and the Philippines.

Australia and the United States. Patients are also being examined, while the United Kingdom announced it will control passengers returning from Wuhan.

Is it similar to something we have ever seen before?

Experts have compared it to the 2003 explosion of acutely acute respiratory syndrome (SARS). The epidemic began in southern China and killed more than 700 people in China./ P ERISCOPI/
