Initially, it was thought that the transmission of the disease happened from animals to people, but with the latest events in China, we know that transmission can also occur from person to person.
Coronavirus is easily transmitted and can spread in the following ways:
1. Contact with contaminated objects or surfaces, followed by contact with the mouth, nose or eyes;
2. Close personal contact, such as touching or shaking hands;
3. Cough;
4. Sneeze;
5. Contact with respiratory secretions.
Anyone who approaches one meter from an infected person is at risk of being infected with the infection.
