How do People Become Infected?

ECDC states this occurs “in the same way as for normal seasonal influenza. It spreads from person to person via droplets from an infected person who is coughing or sneezing; indirectly when droplets or secretions from the nose or throat settle on hands and other surfaces which then are touched by other people who touch their own...eyes, nose or mouth....Studies have shown that the influenza virus can survive and infect a person for up to 2-8 hours after being deposited on the surface.”
