How does COVID-19 spread?

The most common way that novel coronavirus spreads is from person-to-person and it does so in the following ways:

  • When people are in close contact
  • When respiratory droplets from a sick individual (sneezes, coughing, saliva from walking close to someone) are inhaled or ingested by a healthy individual.

The virus can also spread through contaminated surfaces and objects. Because it is uncertain exactly how long the coronavirus lasts on certain surfaces, the best practice is to wash your hands thoroughly and frequently.
