Since the new coronavirus has an incubation period of up to 14 days, many people are also worried about the risk of infection if they travel with patients during the Spring Festival travel period. In response to the concerns of a large number of travelers about travel safety, on January 29, Sogou Search launched a new "Patient Query on the Same Journey" function for new pneumonia diagnosis, helping users who have taken public transportation to check with one click whether there are confirmed cases on the same journey as their own. patient cases.
The Spring Festival travel season, known as "the largest migration event in human history," is the peak period for population movement, both on the outbound and return journeys, and undoubtedly increased the spread of the epidemic.
