How Coronavirus Spreads?
Coronavirus - COVID-19 is a new disease and we are still
learning how it spreads, the severity of illness it causes, and to what extent
it may spread in the United States and entire world.
It spreads Person-to-person
The virus is thought to spread mainly from person-to-person.
- Between people who are in close contact with one another (within about 6 feet).
- 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.
Can someone spread the virus without being sick?
- People are thought to be most contagious when they are most symptomatic (the sickest).
- Some spread might be possible before people show symptoms; there have been reports of this occurring with this new coronavirus, but this is not thought to be the main way the virus spreads.
Its spread from contact with contaminated surfaces or objects
It may be possible that a person can get
COVID-19 by touching a surface or object that has the virus on it and then
touching their own mouth, nose, or possibly their eyes, but this is not thought
to be the main way the virus spreads.
How easily this virus spreads?
How easily a virus spreads from
person-to-person can vary. Some viruses are highly contagious (spread easily),
like measles, while other viruses do not spread as easily. Another factor is
whether the spread is sustained, spreading continually without stopping.
This virus that causes COVID-19 seems to
be spreading easily and sustainably in the community (“community spread”) in
some affected geographic areas.
So, Community spread means people have been
infected with the virus in an area, including some who are not sure how or where
they became infected.
