How are humans most commonly exposed to the sars-cov-2 virus?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Droplets: 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.
