#coronavirusDispelling false beliefs: Coronavirus is transmitted by droplets like most respiratory virus, it may also be airborne which is even worse. If somebody sneezes or cough near you, it gets into your nose or mouth. Droplets can fall on surfaces and objects that a person touched and live there for hours and then you touch the object and get infected. So you have to protect your nose, your mouth, your hands and any surface that you touch and your clothes. This is not easy task, why do you think people who enter in contact with infected patients wear a gown, N 95 mask and gloves? Washing hands help, masks in crowded places are not a bad idea, changing clothes and washing them after being in crowded places is not a bad idea and avoid touching your face it’s important but close to impossible.
