In the recent enterovirus case, public health scholars were certain that the main channel of transmission of the disease was through fecal and oral transmission. It was rarely transmitted through the air. Thus they instructed people to avoid public places, and to thoroughly wash their hands. Also, swimming pools, kindergartens, nursery schools, and other likely locations for the spread of illness were closed.
以這次腸病毒疫情為例，公衛學者們確定，腸病毒的傳染途徑主要是經由糞口傳播，少數則經由飛沫傳染，於是宣導民眾減少出入公共場所、徹底洗手，進而關閉游泳池、幼稚園、托兒所等可能傳播疾病的場所。
