How can spreading Coronavirus
How is it transmitted COVID-19?
Some details about how the disease is spread are unknown and is being determined.The WHO and CDC state that it is primarily spread during close contact and by respiratory droplets produced when people cough or sneeze; with close contact being within 1 to 2 meters (3 to 6 feet). A study in Singapore found that an uncovered coughing can lead to droplets travelling up to 4.5 metres (15 feet).
Respiratory droplets may also be produced during breathing out, including when talking, though the virus is not generally airborne. These droplets can land in the mouths or noses of people who are nearby or possibly be inhaled into the lungs.Some medical procedures such as intubation and cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) may cause respiratory secretions to be aerosolized and thus result in airborne spread. It may also spread when one touches a contaminated surface and then touches their eyes, nose, or mouth. While there are concerns it may spread by feces, this risk is believed to be low.
