In what ways are coronaviruses transmitted?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Coronavirus: Transmission is via droplets from the respiratory tract, ie sneezing and coughing. These droplets are thought not to travel more than six feet which is why this is used for social distancing. When these droplets land on surfaces, they can last for hours or 3 days depending on the surface. Stay safe and follow the guidelines.You especially vulnerable because of your age.
