How is the virus transmitted?

It’s likely that the Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) originated in an animal species, and then spread to humans.

Person to person spread of the novel corona virus is reported, but it is not yet understood how easily this happens.

Other human coronavirus strains are spread from person to person through contaminated droplets from a person who is sick with the illness (through coughing or sneezing) or contaminated hands.

Ways to prevent the disease

  • Avoid animals (alive or dead), animal markets, and products that come from animals (such as uncooked meat).
  • Avoid close contact with anyone showing symptoms of respiratory illness.
  • Wash hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds.
  • Use hand sanitizer if soap and water are not available.
  • Cover coughs and sneezes with tissues.
  • Do not travel if you develop any illness symptoms.
