Education: Understanding transmission for this disease is the first step. Respiratory droplets for certain, touch much less certain. Virus particles from someone infected with the virus who coughs into his/her hand, shakes your hand, you touch your eye, or mouth can spread. ‘Social distancing’, or keeping 6 feet between people would diminish droplet spread in a sneeze. Wash your hands, avoid cough/sneezers.
