[COVID-19 can be transmitted through air or aerosol.]

[Eliza Chang]

Studies to date suggest that the virus is mainly transmitted through contact with infected respiratory droplets rather than airborne.

How?

If someone infected with the virus coughs or sneezes, you may be infected if you breathe in those droplets. It can also happen when you touch droplets that have landed on an object or a surfaces and then touch your eyes, nose or mouth. So, remember to wash your hands before touching your face.
