Walking through green plants amid foggy air and standing inside a "misty tunnel" are new options for people in Chongqing, central China, to get disinfected before starting work, according to a video report by China News Service.

A company in the southwestern Chinese city of Chongqing claims to have built two sterilizing systems within two days that spray workers at an industrial complex with disinfectant before they start work, said the China News Service report.

The company says the tunnel is equipped with infrared detectors that activate a spray from misters when a person enters.

The report said it can take 10 to 20 seconds to spray a person.

A manager of the company told China News Service that the mist is produced by medical disinfectant, and the system has a motor to pump out the liquid when needed.

He also added that the two disinfectant facilities can meet the needs of at least 1,000 people.

China on Wednesday reported its smallest number of new coronavirus cases since January, lending weight to a prediction by its top medical adviser for the outbreak to end by April, but a global diseases expert warned of the spread elsewhere in the world.
