A member asked:

Can you get covid-19 from infected people just breathing in the same room? that means no sneezing or coughing.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Tough to say: There are a group of people who are silent carriers- no symptoms but can spread the virus. Social distancing and wearing mask when possible are recommended by many doctors and health care officials.
