Abstract

The 2019 novel coronavirus is a new coronavirus of the beta genus and defined as category B infectious disease, prevented as category A infectious disease. The infection of new novel coronavirus causes a diversity of clinical manifestations, including fever, dry cough, shortness of breath, muscle soreness etc. The infected are believed to be the principal source of infection, including the asymptomatic individuals who are infected. Droplet transmission and contact transmission are considered the major route of influenza spread. In some condition, aerosol transmission works as well. Alimentary tract transmission remains to be confirmed. Most of the treatment is operated in oral cavity in stomatological hospitals. The dentists, the nurses and the patients have an intimate contact with each other. By analyzing the nosocomial infection routes of novel coronavirus in stomatological hospitals, prevention and control measures were formulated to strengthen infection management, so as to control and minimize infection risks. Oral health workers should strictly implement the infection management measures in medical institutions, and do a good job in the protection of all staff, including medical care, logistics, property management and administration, the environment of the clinic, disinfection and sterilization of instruments and medical waste management, so as to prevent cross-infection and contain the spread of the epidemic.
