COVID-19 is a highly infectious respiratory illness that can be spread from an infected person to persons in close contact with them.
How do you catch COVID-19?
An infected person can spread the virus to a healthy person if they are in close contact with each other (within about 2 meters / 6 feet) through droplets produced when an infected person coughs or sneezes.
It is also spread through contact with contaminated surfaces that have been exposed to the virus by touching a surface or object that has the virus on it and then touching your own mouth, nose, or eyes.
