The virus can be spread through small liquid particles expelled by an infected person through the mouth or nose when coughing, sneezing, talking, singing, or snorting. These liquid particles have different sizes, from the largest 'respiratory droplets' to the smallest, called 'aerosols'.

Other people can contract COVID-19 when the virus enters through the mouth, nose, or eyes, which is more likely to occur if people are in direct or close contact (less than 1 meter away) with an infected person. .

Current data suggest that the virus is spread primarily by respiratory droplets between people who are in close contact.

Aerosol transmission can occur in specific environments, particularly in crowded, poorly ventilated indoor spaces where infected people spend a lot of time with others, such as restaurants, choir practices, gym classes, nightclubs, offices, and / or places of worship. More studies are underway to understand the best conditions under which aerosol transmission occurs outside of medical facilities where specific medical procedures called aerosol generating procedures are performed.

The virus can also be spread when infected people sneeze or cough on or touch surfaces or objects such as tables, doorknobs, or handrails. Other people can become infected by touching these contaminated surfaces and then touching their eyes, nose, or mouth without first asking for hand washing.

The main symptoms of the coronavirus virus include:

Respiratory symptoms (similar to those of a cold)
Fever (high temperature)
Dry cough
Shortness of breath or tiredness
Breathing difficulties
In more severe cases, the virus can cause pneumonia or severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) which is a severe form of pneumonia, kidney failure, and even death. In other cases, some infected people do not develop any symptoms, but they can also infect the rest of the population.

The coronavirus is a group of viruses that cause illnesses ranging from the common cold to more serious illnesses such as pneumonia, Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS), and severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS). Notably, the coronavirus strain (2019-nCoV) that caused the outbreak in China is new and previously unknown.
