respiratory droplets (呼吸飞沫) produced when an infected person coughs or

spread. These droplets can land in the mouths or noses of people who are
nearby or possibly be inhaled into the lungs. It's currently unclear if 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.
It's important to note that how easily a virus spreads person-to-person can
vary. Some viruses are highly contagious (传染性) (like measles), while other
viruses are less so. There is much more to learn about the transmissibility
severity, and other features associated with Covid-19.
