It's correct that this.... The current understanding of coronaviruses in general, and we believe with this one, is that it is spread through droplets that people cough or sneeze out but also through contaminated surfaces—e.g., if someone coughs up a droplet on this table. It depends on what surface it's on. I think the survival of the virus on different types of surfaces is probably being worked on right now, but viruses can survive for a number of hours on a surface. There is a lot you can do. As with other respiratory viruses, washing your hands is absolutely critical. You're touching all sorts of things all day. It doesn't matter whether it's a doorknob or a table; it's something that people can actually do. Of course, to stop droplets and sneezes and to protect other people, if you're sick, please don't show up anywhere. Don't go to work. Also, cover your cough. That's really important to protect everybody.
It's like other respiratory viruses, even though it is new. We know how you can protect yourself against a respiratory virus. These are some of the really sensible things you can do. It is true that it's not just the droplets directly from someone else. They can also land on a surface. Cleaning and disinfection are appropriate as well.
