BACKGROUND The World Health Organization (WHO) said the situation in India was a "devastating reminder" of what the coronavirus could do. COVID-19 cases suddenly spiked across India. Malaysia is also facing a surge in Covid-19 due to the spread of covid-19 by asymptomatic covid-19 carriers. Both country are practice home quarantine for asymptomatic covid-19 carriers. Fecal transmission may be one of the important transmission routes that caused many undetected asymptomatic covid-19 carriers to accumulate and suddenly surge in India and Malaysia. Therefore, it is important to develop an application that can publicize information on Fecal transmission asymptomatic covid-19 carriers. OBJECTIVE The purpose of this application is to provide sufficient information and scientific research evidence to ensure that prevention strategies and control for Fecal transmission must be implemented. The app is also open to anyone who uses it to educate others so that information can be shared more quickly to prevent other countries from becoming "Second India or Malaysia". METHODS The homepage of the app start shows that App, Game Base Learning to Prevent Infection from COVID-19 (version 3) [Peter Chew, 2020 ] available World Health Organization (WHO) . The importance of testing all close contacts with patients for covid-19 and being quarantined has been emphasized. Follow by Untested, home quarantine asymptomatic will increase fecal transmission. For prevent and control, the apps suggest toilets in public and quarantine centers must be cleaned regularly, and all families will face fines if they find that the toilets are dirty to reduce Fecal-Oral Transmission of COVID-19. The app also emphasized the important of Stool Examination in Asymptomatic Carriers as a Strategic Measure to Control Further Spread of SARS-CoV-2 . RESULTS In this application, fecal transmission prevention and control education App(1) provides sufficient information and scientific research evidence to prove that fecal transmission is one of the main reason of home quarantine for asymptomatic covid-19 carriers leading to high covid-19 infection. The application also suggests some prevention and control of fecal transmission to reduce fecal transmission to reduce infection. home quarantine lead to the accumulation of asymptomatic high viral load covid-19 carriers and cause the current COVID-19 and higher mortality rate . As we have seen China advise Italy before, home quarantine for mild COVID-19 cases is wrong. CONCLUSIONS China revised the definition of “close contacts” of the SARS-CoV-2 Delta variant. “In the past, close contacts were defined as the families of a patient, or people who had meals or meetings with the patient in an office or within one metre in the two days before the symptom onset,” China's new definition of "close contacts" includes people stayed in the same space, same unit, or even in the same building in the four days before the onset of symptoms, taking into account the spread of fecal aerosols in high-rise buildings for virus SARS-CoV-2 Delta variant carriers.

Recently, an unprecedented coronavirus pandemic has emerged and has spread around the world. The novel coronavirus termed COVID-19 by the World Health Organization has posed a huge threat to human safety and social development. This mini review aimed to summarize the online education mode and plans for schools to resume full-time campus study in China during COVID-19. Chinese schools have made significant contributions to the prevention and control of the transmission of COVID-19 by adopting online learning from home. However, normal opening and classroom teaching have been affected. For education systems at all levels, online education may be an effective way to make up for the lack of classroom teaching during the epidemic. To protect staff and students from COVID-19, the timing of students returning to full-time campus study needs to be considered carefully. Reviewing and summarizing of the Chinese education system's response to the virus would be of great value not only in developing educational policy but also in guiding other countries to formulate educational countermeasures.

World Health Organization (WHO) has declared the recent outbreak of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) a Pandemic and a global public health emergency. The eventual scope and consequences of this outbreak are uncertain at present as the condition is swiftly evolving. The purpose of this article is to cumulate existing published data and researches, identify the challenges with reference to India and develop a comprehensive preventive plan to prevent the spread of this deadly pandemic. The authors explored WHO situation dashboards, the web portal of Ministry of Health and Family Welfare of India and press reports of different countries, published literature on coronavirus transmission, textbooks, scientific and medical journals and several other sources to identify ongoing challenges in the fight against COVID-19 in India. After an exhaustive literature search, 15 ongoing challenges in the fight against novel COVID-19 especially with reference to India have been identified. After a thorough analysis of all these challenges along with the lessons from the International community, a preventive plan has been established to be devised by different agencies from our personal perspectives to overcome the challenges which may assist decision-makers in the prevention and control of COVID-19 in India.

Abstract Background The ongoing outbreak of Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has led to declaration of public health emergency of international concern by World Health Organization and the first-level public health emergency response in China. We aimed to share the Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism taken in Mainland China and evaluate the effectiveness.Methods A powerful Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism was adopted to fight against COVID-19 in Mainland China. Data were collected from the daily epidemic reports released by the national and provincial health commissions of China from January 21 to April 6, 2020. Global data were collected from daily situation reports by World Health Organization.Results As of April 6, 2020, there were 81,740 confirmed COVID-19 cases (32 new) in Mainland China. The case fatality ratio was 4.74% and 0.85% in and outside Hubei respectively. It is gratifying to see that there were up to 22 provinces reporting zero new infections, but it can’t be ignored that there were 1,196,651 confirmed cases (68,700 new) reported in over 221 countries and territories outside China and the total death number were 69,274, nowadays China is facing great challenges of imported cases.Conclusions Great achievements have been made in controlling the spread of COVID-19 in Mainland China, but it is still a major challenge worldwide. The comprehensive and powerful control measures taken by Mainland China have proved to be effective and might be applicable to other regions.
