On the afternoon of April 12, the joint prevention and control mechanism of the State Council held a press conference. At the meeting, wuzunyou, chief epidemiologist of the China Center for Disease Control and prevention, introduced that everyone was concerned about whether novel coronavirus would spread through catkins. It should be said that it would not. In more than two years of research, no catkins have been found to adsorb viruses. On the other hand, there are no reports of infection caused by catkins so far.

Novel coronavirus generally does not infect healthy people directly from an infected person in the form of free virus. Novel coronavirus usually takes droplets as a carrier and adsorbs on the surface of tiny droplets. Patients discharge the droplets through coughing and sneezing, and the virus adsorbs on the particles and discharges with the droplets. Droplets are generally small, ranging from 1 to 5 μ m. The distance of transmission should be 1-2 meters. When healthy people inhale droplets adsorbed by the virus, they will be infected.
