The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention asserts that COVID-19 spreads among people who are in close contact (less than 6 feet apart) for prolonged periods of time. Spread happens when someone with COVID-19 sneezes, coughs or talks and vapor from their mouths or noses is released into the air. Those droplets can be inhaled by those around the person.
