Recommendations to prevent the spread of COVID-19:
COVID-19 spreads when an infected person breathes out droplets and very small particles that contain the virus. These droplets and particles can be breathed in by other people or land in their eyes, nose, or mouth. The risk of COVID-19 transmission increases when people gather with other households.
