How can it Spreads ?

COVID-19 is caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, which spreads between people, mainly when an infected person is in close contact with another person.

small liquid particles

The virus can spread from an infected person’s mouth or nose in small liquid particles when they cough, sneeze, speak, sing or breathe heavily. These liquid particles are different sizes, ranging from larger ‘respiratory droplets’ to smaller ‘aerosols’.

direct or close contact

Other people can catch COVID-19 when the virus gets into their mouth, nose or eyes, which is more likely to happen when people are in direct or close contact (less than 1 metre apart) with an infected person.

contaminated surfaces and objects

The virus can also spread after infected people sneeze, cough on, or touch surfaces, or objects, such as tables, doorknobs... Other people may become infected by touching these contaminated surfaces, then touching their eyes, noses or mouths.

Take care of yourself

Things you can protect yourself

Keep the social Distance

The virus that causes COVID-19 is spread primarily through droplets produced when an infected person coughs, sneezes, or breathes out. These droplets are too heavy to stay in the air and fall quickly to the ground or any nearby surface. You can get infected by breathing in the virus, if you are near a sick person, or by touching a contaminated surface and then your eyes, nose or mouth.

Wash your hands very often

Washing hands can keep you healthy and prevent the spread of respiratory and diarrheal infections from one person to the next.
