Corona virus is called can be transmitted through the eye?

WUHAN, KOMPAS.TV - Corona virus was first identified from the city of Wuhan, China. This virus is a zoonotic disease or transmitted from animals to humans. The corona virus that shocked the world was also said to be transmitted through the eyes. Reporting from Kompas.com, this was revealed by a medical expert from China, Wang Guangfa.

Wang is a respiratory expert who once helped overcome the outbreak of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) in 2003. Nevertheless, it turns out that Wang was also hit by the Corona virus when visiting Wuhan two weeks ago.

Wang believes that he was hit by the virus through transmission in the eye because he did not use a complete protector. At that time, Wang actually had used an N95 mask and protective clothing, but forgot to wear eye protection.

Upon returning from Wuhan, he explained that in his left eyes had suffered a conjunctivitis. Then, three hours later, he claimed to have a fever and experienced inflammation of severe mucous membranes. Wang also thought it was an ordinary flu.

He decided to try the Corona virus test after the cold treatment was unsuccessful, where the result was positive. Wang then filed an assumption, that one of the transmission of pathogens that had spread to 12 countries was through the eye.
