COVID-19 is a respiratory illness that can spread from person to person through small droplets from the nose or mouth which are spread when someone with COVID-19 sneezes, coughs, or exhales. These droplets land on objects and surfaces and other people then catch COVID-19 by touching these objects or surfaces, then touching their eyes, nose or mouth.
