3. CORONAVIRUSES ARE A TYPE
OF VIRUS
Coronaviruses (CoV) are a large family of viruses
that cause illness ranging from the common cold
to more severe diseases such as Middle East
Respiratory Syndrome (MERS-CoV) and Severe
Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS-CoV). A novel
coronavirus (nCoV) is a new strain that has not
been previously identified in humans
WHAT IS
CORONA VIRUS?

4. COVID-19 is a new disease and we
are still learning how it spreads,
the severity of illness it causes,
and to what extent it may spread
HOWCOVID-19 SPREADS

5. Between people who are in close contact with
one another (within about 6 feet).
Through respiratory 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
PERSON-TO-PERSON SPREAD

6. People are thought to be most contagious when
they are most symptomatic (the sickest).
Some spread might be possible before people
show symptoms; there have been reports of this
occurring with this new coronavirus, but this is
not thought to be the main way the virus
spreads.
SOMEONE SPREAD THE VIRUS
WITHOUT BEING SICK

7. 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.
SPREAD FROM CONTACT WITH
CONTAMINATED SURFACES OR OBJECTS

8. How easily a virus spreads from person-to-
person can vary. Some viruses are highly
contagious (spread easily), like measles, while
other viruses do not spread as easily. Another
factor is whether the spread is sustained,
spreading continually without stopping.
The virus that causes COVID-19 seems to be
spreading easily and sustainably in the
community (“community spread”) in some
affected geographic areas
