Questions and answers about coronavirus disease (COVID-19)
How is COVID-19 spread?
A person can get COVID-19 from contact with someone who is infected with the virus.
The disease can spread from person to person through droplets from the nose or mouth that are thrown out when an infected person coughs or exhales.
These droplets fall on objects and surfaces around the person, so other people can get COVID-19 if they touch these objects or surfaces and then touch their eyes, nose, or mouth.
They can also be spread by inhaling droplets that a person with COVID-19 has spread by coughing or exhaling.
So it is important to stay more than 1 meter (3 feet) away from an ill person.
WHO is studying the ongoing research on the ways of spreading COVID-19 and will continue to report on the updated results.
Can the virus that causes COVID-19 be transmitted through the air?
Studies to date suggest that the virus causing COVID-19 is transmitted primarily through contact with respiratory droplets, rather than through air.
See the answer above to the question "How does COVID-19 spread?"
Is it possible to get COVID-19 from contact with a person who does not have any symptoms?
The main way of spreading the disease is through the respiratory droplets expelled by someone when coughing.
The risk of getting COVID-19 from someone with no symptoms is very low.
However, many people who get COVID-19 have only mild symptoms.
This is particularly true in the early stages of the disease.
Therefore, it is possible to get it from someone who, for example, only has a mild cough and does not feel sick.
WHO is reviewing ongoing investigations into the transmission period of COVID-19 and will continue to report on the updated results.
