The virus appears to be spread through small respiratory droplets produced when an infected person coughs or sneezes, although it can also be spread if people touch an object contaminated with the virus and then touch their mouth, nose or eyes , some reports suggest that the virus can cause conjunctivitis and be transmitted by aerosol contact with the conjunctiva.
What should you do to protect yourself?
To protect against possible coronavirus infections , generic protective measures against respiratory diseases should be followed:
- Wash your hands frequently (with soap and water or alcohol solutions).
- Avoid close contact with people showing signs of respiratory problems, such as coughing or sneezing.
- Keep a distance of about one meter from people showing symptoms of acute respiratory infection.
- Cover your mouth and nose with tissues or cough or sneeze and wash your hands afterwards.
- See a doctor if you have fever , cough, and shortness of breath.
What should ophthalmologists know?

Patients presenting to ophthalmologists with conjunctivitis who also have fever and respiratory symptoms, including cough and shortness of breath, and who have recently traveled abroad, could represent cases of COVID-19 .
Professionals recommend mouth, nose and eye protection when caring for potentially infected patients.
The virus that causes COVID-19 is very susceptible to the same alcohol- and bleach-based disinfectants that ophthalmologists commonly use to disinfect ophthalmic instruments.
To prevent the transmission of COVID-19, the same disinfection practices already used to prevent the office spread of other viral pathogens are recommended before and after each patient encounter.
