  • Two Factors – Successful COVID-19 infection is primarily dependent on the amount of exposure and the time spent in an exposed area.
  • Airborne – Infected droplets from coughs and sneezes can linger in the air indoors for a few minutes.
  • Asymptomatic – At least 44% of infections derive from people without any symptoms.
  • Early Spread – An infected person can start spreading coronavirus five days before feeling symptoms.
  • Infected people are most dangerous right before feeling symptoms.
  • Concentrated Carriers – 20% of infected people are responsible for 99% of the viral load.
