We're still learning: But the main way it is spread is via respiratory droplets (coughing or sneezing), just like the flu. It is possible that the virus can be transmitted by touching an object that has come in contact with respiratory droplets and then rubbing your eyes, nose or mouth. See https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/prepare/transmission.html for the latest ACCURATE information.

Covid 19: COVID 19 is primarily transmitted via droplets that other people breath, cough or sneeze out and that enter or respiratory system through our eyes, nose or mouth. There is surface contact transmission to a lesser extent. In some situations it can become aerosolized and inhaled.
