Coronavirus (COVID-19) is highly contagious. This virus spread through an infected person’s respiratory droplet either by sneezing or coughing.

Yes, Coronavirus is definitely contagious. This is one of the reasons why the disease is considered to be deadly because it can spread from one person to another easily. There are some people who may have already been infected, and yet they do not know that they have already become infected by the disease. When a person who is infected by the virus unknowingly coughs or sneezes on his hand, and he touches a surface, the next person who will touch the same surface and touch his face will have a high chance of also getting infected by the virus. The virus can usually stay on various surfaces for hours. Even talking to a person who is infected with the disease will already be dead.

The correct answer to this question is Yes. Coronoavirus is very contagious, which is why it is spreading across nations at a rapid pace. It spreads through respiratory droplets. For example, if a person with the virus sneezes straight into their hands and does not wash their hands after, they can spread it through any subsequent surface they touch.

So if they then touch a book and pass on that book to a friend, that friend will then get the virus. It can also be spread through a person coughing into the air without covering their mouth. The virus then goes onto the air and impacts anyone they may be around.

The new coronavirus is contagious as it can be passed from one person to another, especially if respiratory droplets from an infected person manage to enter into the nose, eyes, and mouth of any nearby individual. It can also be gotten if coronavirus virus is present on a surface, and you manage to take it to your mouth or nose with your hands.

Coronavirus is spreading very fast across the world, and it is because it is a new virus, and scientists have been successful in finding ways to combat the disease, and that is why it is mostly called a novel disease. The fact that it is spreading very fast does not mean it is more powerful than other known viruses; it is just that there are no existing vaccines or preexisting defense that can fight the disease in our body. So far, about 270,000 cases have been recorded in different countries of the world.

The measure of the outbreak depends upon how easily the virus is transferred person to person. Scientists have concluded that respiratory illnesses such as these often travel through the air in the form of tiny globules. These drops are created when an ill person coughs, sneezes, talks, or breathes. The globules fall onto the ground, which makes the virus more inaccessible than something like chickenpox, measles, or tuberculosis.

These germs can move about a hundred feet into the air. It is still easier to contract HIV than the coronavirus, which is spread through intimate contact with an infected person. For every person who has been infected with the coronavirus, it affects two to three others, which may be enough to sustain and elevate the probability of having an outbreak. It is essential to maintain good personal hygiene. Make sure you shower daily and wash hands thoroughly with soap and water.
