CDC Guidelines pertaining to COVID-19
- The CDC updated the How COVID-19 Spreads website on October 5, 2020
- “COVID-19 most commonly spreads during close contact”
- “Infections occur mainly through exposure to respiratory droplets when a person is in close contact with someone who has COVID-19.”
- “As the respiratory droplets travel further from the person with COVID-19, the concentration of these droplets decreases. Larger droplets fall out of the air due to gravity. Smaller droplets and particles spread apart in the air.”
- “COVID-19 can sometimes be spread by airborne transmission’
- “There is evidence that under certain conditions, people with COVID-19 seem to have infected others who were more than 6 feet away. These transmissions occurred within enclosed spaces that had inadequate ventilation. Sometimes the infected person was breathing heavily, for example while singing or exercising.”
- “COVID-19 spreads less commonly through contact with contaminated surfaces”
- “Spread from touching surfaces is not thought to be a common way that COVID-19 spreads”
