How does COVID-19 spread?
Person-to-person spread:
This Coronavirus is thought to spread mainly from person-to-person.
Between people who are in close contact with one another (within about 6 feet).
From droplets produced when an infected person coughs or sneezes.
These droplets can land in the mouths or noses of people who are nearby or possibly be inhaled into the lungs.
Spread from contact with infected surfaces or objects:
It may be possible that a person can get COVID-19 by touching a surface or object that has the virus on it and then touching their own mouth, nose, or possibly their eyes, but this is not thought to be the main way the virus spreads. Good hand hygiene is critical to prevent self-contamination.
What can I do to avoid getting COVID-19?
Washing your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, especially after going to the bathroom; before eating; and after blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing.
Avoiding contact with people who are sick.
Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands.
Staying home when you are sick.
Covering your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue in the trash.
When are people contagious?
People are thought to be most contagious when they are most symptomatic (the sickest).
Spread might be possible before people show symptoms; there have been reports with this new Coronavirus, but this is not thought to be the main way the virus spreads.
Where can I get information on COVID-19?
The North Dakota Department of Health and the CDC websites are the best place for credible information.
