COVID-19: Main modes of transmission

COVID-19: Main modes of transmission SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, spreads from an infected person to others through respiratory droplets and aerosols when an infected person breathes, coughs, sneezes, sings, shouts, or talks. The droplets vary in size, from large droplets that fall to the ground rapidly (within seconds or minutes) near the infected person, to smaller droplets, sometimes called aerosols, which linger in the air, especially in indoor spaces. 2021-08-31 Public Health Agency of Canada open-ouvert@tbs-sct.gc.ca Health and SafetyCOVID-19Main modesof transmissionCOVID-19 transmissionSARS-CoV-2infectious dropletsinfectious aerosolsaerosolsoutbreakventilationpublic health measurespersonal preventive practicesvariantsHVACCOVIDcoronavirusHowCOVID-19 spreadsSettings with higher riskof transmissionFollowpublic healthmeasuresVentilationventilationair conditioninCOVID-19Main modesof transmissionCOVID-19COVID-19 transmissionSARS-CoV-2infectious dropletsinfectious aerosolsaerosolsoutbreakventilationpublic health measurespersonal preventive practicesvariantsHVACCOVIDcoronavirus COVID-19: Main modes of transmissionHTML https://www.canada.ca/en/public-health/services/diseases/2019-novel-coronavirus-infection/health-professionals/main-modes-transmission.html COVID-19: Main modes of transmissionHTML https://www.canada.ca/fr/sante-publique/services/maladies/2019-nouveau-coronavirus/professionnels-sante/principaux-modes-transmission.html
