Is polio contagious

summary

Children are the most precious of every parent. The incidence rate of poliomyelitis is very high at present, which makes many parents worry that their children will be infected. So, can polio be contagious?

Is polio contagious

First, polio virus can be directly transmitted through human contact. For example, children with weak resistance are more likely to be infected. Without any antibodies to prevent the invasion of the virus, they will be easily infected.

Second, polio can be transmitted through direct contact. It is a highly contagious contact infectious disease. Therefore, if family members are in close contact, they may get sick. If you can, check it with your kids.

Third, whether a child is infected with poliomyelitis or not, it is necessary to take stool samples for testing. The reason is that the virus can appear in Human Excreta for two to three weeks, so it is easier to isolate the virus from stool samples. 　

matters needing attention

At ordinary times, we should try our best to isolate children from other groups, especially faeces and saliva. This is an important way of transmission. After children come back together, we should immediately disinfect the children and take preventive measures, so that they will not be infected.
