COVID-19 spreads mainly from person to person through the following ways:<\/p>\n
1. Respiratory Droplets<\/p>\n
When an infected person coughs, sneezes, talks, or breathes, they release tiny droplets containing the virus.<\/p>\n
These droplets can be inhaled by people nearby, especially in crowded or poorly ventilated areas.<\/p>\n
2. Direct Contact<\/p>\n
Shaking hands, hugging, or touching someone who has the virus can spread it.<\/p>\n
If you touch your eyes, nose, or mouth after touching contaminated surfaces, you may become infected.<\/p>\n
3. Airborne Transmission<\/p>\n
In some cases, the virus can stay in the air in small particles (aerosols) for a longer time in closed spaces.<\/p>\n
Breathing in these particles can lead to infection.<\/p>\n
4. Surface Transmission (Less Common)<\/p>\n
The virus can survive on surfaces for a few hours to days.<\/p>\n
Touching these surfaces and then touching your face can lead to infection.<\/p>\n
