How Does COVID-19 Spread?
COVID-19 spreads the same way the flu and other respiratory diseases spread:
- Through respiratory droplets produced when an infected person coughs or sneezes.
- These droplets can land in the mouths or noses of people who are nearby or possibly be inhaled into the lungs.
- Between people who are in close contact with one another (within about 6 feet).
