How COVID & the FLU spreads:
Both the flu and COVID-19 spread in similar ways. Droplets or smaller virus particles from a sick person can transmit the virus to other people nearby. The smallest particles may linger in the air, and another person can inhale them and become infected.
Or, people can touch a surface with viruses on it, and then transfer the germs to themselves by touching their face.
COVID-19: Caused by the 2019 coronavirus, also known as SARS-CoV-2.
Flu: Caused by any of several different types and strains of influenza viruses. Different strains circulate each year.
