How does the coronavirus spread and what are ways to prevent it?
assistant
The coronavirus spreads through respiratory droplets when an infected person coughs, sneezes, or talks. It can also be spread through contact with objects and surfaces that have been exposed to the virus. To prevent its spread, it is important to practice good hygiene, such as washing your hands frequently with soap and water or using hand sanitizer, avoiding close contact with people who are ill, and staying home if you are feeling ill. It is also important to practice social distancing and wear a face mask when in public spaces.
