COVID – 19: PERSON TO PERSON SPREAD

• This usually happens through respiratory droplets - when someone with the virus coughs or sneezes, and you breathe it in.

• Most often, you need to be close to the person (within 6 feet) for it to spread this way.

• It might be possible to get COVID-19 by touching a surface or object that has the virus on it and then touching your own mouth, nose, or possibly your eyes. But this is not thought to be the main way the virus spreads.
