Pathways of transmission of novel coronavirus infection

COVID-19 infection is mainly transmitted through contact and respiratory droplets, mainly from patients with the disease. Patients can cough, talk, laugh, sneeze, etc. Respiratory droplets containing COVID-19 can be sprayed into the environment. These droplets can be attached to surfaces or suspended in the air. If people contact or inhale these droplets, they may be infected. In addition, COVID-19 may also be transmitted through the faecal route.
