WHAT WE KNOW
Exposure and Contamination
The main way the virus is spread between people is by those who are in close contact, within 6ft of space to
one another. The spreading is caused by Cough aerosols.
Cough aerosols (respiratory droplets) are small airborne particles that carry pathogens when an infected
person coughs, sneezes, sings, talks, or breathes.
It can also be spread through surface contact. Cough
aerosols droplets can land on surfaces, and can be passed through the eyes, mouth, and nose if came into
contact with said surface.
Another form of transmission is airborne. If a person inhales air released from someone who is infected with
Covid19, those airborne particles can linger in the for minutes to up to hours after. (This depends on the
air flow circulation of the area.)
Washing your hands frequently (20 seconds with antibacterial soap)
Do not touch your eyes, nose, mouth to anything unclean.
Wearing a facial mask, to help filter or prevent contaminated aerosol particles from being inhaled
Constantly clean all surfaces with antibacterial (including phones, remotes, door handles, packages)
Do not share personal items with others (ie: towels, blankets, masks)
Keep 6ft distance of anyone not in your direct household.
