How Does COVID-19 Spread?
According to the World Health Organisation (WHO), the deadly coronavirus is said to spread from only infected humans to humans. Since this is a respiratory virus, it affects another by coughing, sneezing, or by talking. In such a scenario, it is recommended that you use a face mask without the risk of being infected or infecting another person. People can catch COVID-19 from others who have the virus. The disease can spread from person to person through small droplets from the nose or mouth which are spread when a person with COVID-19 coughs or exhales. These droplets land on objects and surfaces around the person.

Planning an inter-city tour to beat the boredom during COVID-19 lockdown? It may not be a good idea.

Stay indoors, stay safe.
