Recently, the outbreak of the coronavirus in Wuhan aroused people's concern. The Spring Festival Holiday is coming to an end, many places are likely to reopen businesses and schools in the near future, how to control and reduce the scale of the flow of these people has become the next priority of epidemic control. For this reason, we may need to consider the possibility of encouraging more workers and students to work/study at home. First, telecommuting or "working at home" may be a way to reduce the contradiction between epidemic prevention and economic growth. At the same time, it is necessary to subsidize and encourage supporting businesses to assist "working at home". Secondly, delaying the start of school is undoubtedly the most effective way to reduce the possibility of infection in schools.Online teaching is often faced with the lack of face-to-face communication and interaction between teachers and students, and teachers are concerned that they can not timely grasp the progress of students’ learning and feedback. For this point, there are two possible solutions: first, after returning to school, students can add small-scale after-school interactive links on the basis of online teaching. Second, China today has the world's leading interactive video platform and industry. These devices can be used to serve the teaching.To sum up, working and studying at home is a new mode of work and teaching in recent years, which is advanced and convenient to a certain extent. At the same time, it may be more suitable for working and teaching in the period of fighting against the epidemic because of its nature of "non-physical contact". Based on the above factors, we should consider taking more of the above two ways of working and studying in response to the epidemic.
