People are primarily infected with SARS-CoV-2 (the virus that causes COVID-19) through exposure to respiratory fluids carrying the virus.
"Inhaling fine respiratory droplets and aerosol particles."
"Respiratory droplets and particles landing on the mouth, nose, or eyes through direct splashes or sprays."
"Touching the mouth, nose, or eyes with hands contaminated by virus-containing fluids or surfaces."
The risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection varies according to the amount of virus to which a person is exposed. • Transmission of SARS-CoV-2 from inhalation of virus in the air farther than six feet from an infectious source can occur. This is the reason you must understand, proper maintenance and precautions are essential to minimize the risk of airborne transmission, even at distances greater than six feet.
