The virus can be spread through small liquid particles expelled by an

infected person through the mouth or n

ose 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  get  COVID

19  when  the  virus  enters  through  the

mouth, nos

e, or eyes, something that is more likely to occur if people

are in direct or close contact (less than 1 meter away) with an infected

person

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

washing their hands.
