People can catch COVID-19 if they breathe in the small droplets expelled from the nose or mouth of an infected person that coughs, sneezes, or speaks. These droplets are relatively heavy, do not travel far and quickly sink to the ground. These droplets can land on objects and surfaces around the person such as tables, doorknobs and handrails and they can be transfered to face by hands touching on these surfaces.

Human Contact

Hands touch many surfaces and can pick up viruses. Once contaminated, hands can transfer the virus.
