HELLO!
@ Prophet2520
Can you not read where they say,
“Droplet spread happens when germs traveling inside droplets that are coughed or sneezed from a sick person enter the eyes, nose, or mouth of another person. Droplets travel short distances, less than 3 feet (1 meter) from one person to another.”
“A person might also get infected by touching a surface or object that has germs on it and then touching their mouth or nose.”
“Clean and disinfect commonly touched surfaces like doorknobs, faucet handles, and toys, since the Ebola virus may live on surfaces for up to several hours.”
