How does the new coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) spread from person to person?

Coronavirus is likely spread:

  • The virus travels in respiratory droplets released into the air when an infected person coughs, sneezes, talks, sings or breathes near you. You may be infected if you inhale these droplets.
  • You can also get coronavirus from close contact (touching, shaking hands) with an infected person and then touching your face.
