Rumor: Novel coronavirus can be transmitted via mosquito
Fact:
The World Health Organization noted on Saturday there is no evidence or proof yet showing the virus can be transmitted this way.
According to WHO, the novel coronavirus is a respiratory virus, which spreads primarily through contact with an infected person via respiratory droplets generated when he or she coughs or sneezes, or via droplet discharge from the nose.
The WHO stressed it's important for people to wash their hands regularly with either alcohol-based hand rub or soap and water. Avoiding direct contact with those who are coughing and sneezing is also recommended.
