The virus that causes COVID-19 is mainly transmitted through droplets
generated when an infected person coughs, sneezes, or exhales. These
droplets are too heavy to hang in the air, and quickly fall on floors or surfaces.
You can be infected by breathing in the virus if you are within close proximity of
someone who has СOVID-19, or by touching a contaminated surface and then
your eyes, nose or mouth. Most common symptoms are: fever, dry cough,
tiredness. Less common symptoms are: headaches and pains, sore throat,
diarrhea, conjunctivitis, headache, loss of taste or smell, a rash on skin, or
discoloration of fingers or toes.
