COVID-19 is a communicable disease that transmits from human to human through air/respiratory droplets from an

infected person when they cough, sneeze, talks. The droplets can land in the mouth and noses of those people that are nearby and possibly inhaled into the lungs. There is evidence that the

infection is also transmitted from surfaces.
