Can bats directly infect people?
1. Under normal circumstances, viruses carried by bats cannot directly infect humans.

2. Bats will not spread to COVID-19, and COVID-19 will only spread from person to person. During the COVID-19 epidemic, it was totally wrong to kill bats and stigmatize them in public opinion. First of all, there is no evidence that bats directly infected human COVID-19. According to scientific investigation, the source of novel coronavirus may involve bats, but it is likely to spread to people only through intermediate animals. Secondly, there are about 1400 species of bats living in the wild in the world. Many of them have adapted to the urban environment, living in gardens, city parks and even playing around our home. These bats pose no threat to their human neighbors. The third kind of bat provides huge benefits, including pollination, seed spread and pest control, worth tens of billions every year. Therefore, bats will not directly infect COVID-19.
