How Does Corona Disease Spread?

While there are plenty of theories as to how it spreads, let’s break it down for you. When an infected person coughs or sneezes, he releases infected droplets into the air. Similarly, a healthy person can inhale those droplets in a matter of seconds through his/her nose or mouth. Apart from inhaling, if a healthy person touches an object where these droplets have laded and then touches his face (eyes, nose, ears), he will catch the virus.

Depending on the level of infection, your doctor may suggest the treatment. In severe cases, one will have to be admitted to a hospital’s quarantine ward to ensure it isn’t spreading from you. Remember, it’s important to not let your virus go to thousands of others we interact with and see on a daily basis. N95 masks are also available for people with coronavirus symptoms. Keeping the mask on at all times makes sure that all droplets aren’t released into the atmosphere.
