The virus is thought to travel from person to person through the air when someone coughs or sneezes. It also may spread when someone touches a surface, such as a table or doorknob that has the virus on it. To help you stay healthy, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends that you wash your hands and clean frequently touched surfaces.
