How does this version of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) Spread?

Person-to-Person

“Person-to-Person” has appeared to be the most widely known way COVID-19 spreads between people. This occurs mainly with those who are in close contact with one another (within about 6 feet). Droplets produced by the respiratory system when an individual infected with COVID-19 coughs or sneezes land on the face, mouths or noses of people nearby. Furthermore, these droplets can be inhaled into lungs.

Spread from contact with contaminated surfaces or objects

It may be possible for someone to get the COVID-19 virus after touching an area with the virus on it and then touching their own mouth, nose, or eyes. The CDC confirms the possibility of the disease being spread in this manner.
