Five things to know about COVID-19 transmission

People can catch COVID-19 from others who have the virus. The disease spreads primarily from person to person through small droplets from the nose or mouth, which are expelled when a person with COVID-19 coughs, sneezes, or speaks. These droplets are relatively heavy, do not travel far and quickly sink to the ground. People can catch COVID-19 if they breathe in these droplets from a person infected with the virus. This is why it is important to stay at least 1 meter) away from others. These droplets can land on objects and surfaces around the person such as tables, doorknobs and handrails. People can become infected by touching these objects or surfaces, then touching their eyes, nose or mouth. This is why it is important to wash your hands regularly with soap and water or clean with alcohol-based hand rub.

WHO is assessing ongoing research on the ways that COVID-19 is spread and will continue to share updated findings.

So virulent to all! "O Lord, protect us from what lieth in front of us and behind us, above our heads, on our right, on our left, below our feet and every other side to which we are exposed. Verily, Thy protection over all things is unfailing." ~ Baha'i Prayer

After this long period, March onwards, we have to admit that many aspects remain less known, and many knots remain untied. Being unsure adds to anxiety of the global citizens. Murar Yeolekar, Mumbai.

We all know why COVID-19 is still spreading so drastically, but nobody wants to say it on a public forum. Not saying it is part of the problem....
Just have a look at recent video footage from Miami Beach and Fort Lauderdale and draw your own conclusions.

Droplets come in different sizes. We're not being told that cloth masks most likely do not keep small droplets from aerosolising and carrying the virus infected mucus to the unsuspecting person who is 6 feet and one inch away. Only N95 masks can do that. Why aren't our governments creating a need for these masks and making them available for purchase? I wish someone would answer that.

I am a bit scared because Yakima County is the worst place in the Pacific Nortwesst and possibly in the West Coast. I am 67 and I have congestive heart failure and hypertension. I just bought some fresh steelhead ..pricy stuff and was busy so I took 2 days to prepare it.possibly 3? And it seemed slightly must not as firm s I like. I needed a laxative so took one. Around 2 am diarrhea hit me. I also had a bad headache and after the stomach issues I didn't want to eat. Not feeling up to par and I've had. Super mild sore throat for at least 2 weeks. Should I be scared of possible Covid. I don't feel terrible except for the diarrhea
