Correct Answer
A. 6Explanation
COVID-19 spreads between people in close contact, closer than around 6 feet. This is because the virus primarily spreads through respiratory droplets that are produced when an infected person talks, coughs, or sneezes. These droplets can travel up to 6 feet and potentially infect another person who is within this range. Therefore, maintaining a distance of at least 6 feet from others is recommended as a preventive measure to reduce the transmission of the virus.Rate this question:
