Transmission
COVID-19 spreads primarily from person to person in several different ways:

It can spread through small liquid particles. These particles range from larger respiratory droplets to smaller aerosols released when an infected person coughs, sneezes, speaks, sings or breathes.
It spreads mainly between people who are in close contact with each other, typically within 1 metre.
It can also spread in poorly ventilated and/or crowded indoor settings where aerosols remain suspended in the air or travel farther than 1 metre.
It can also spread if a person touches surfaces that have been contaminated by the virus.
