HOW DOES COVID-19 SPREAD?

*HOW DOES COVID-19 SPREAD?*

A person can catch COVID-19 from anyone who is carrying the virus, even if they are not sick.

🤧 The virus can spread from an infected person’s mouth or nose in small liquid particles when they cough, sneeze, speak, sing or breathe.

📏 The virus spreads mainly when in close contact with an infected person, typically less than 1 metre.

*🦠* The virus can also spread in indoor, poorly ventilated and/or crowded settings, where people tend to spend longer periods of time. In these conditions, very small infected particles can remain suspended in the air or travel farther than 1 metre.

🥄 You may also contract the virus by touching a surface contaminated with the virus.

😷 Always maintain at least 1 meter distance between yourself and others, and wear a mask.

💨 Keep your home well ventilated by opening windows and avoid crowds and poorly ventilated indoor spaces.

🤚 Clean hands frequently.
