Yes, you can. When you speak, sneeze or cough, or when you just breathe more heavily (while singing, playing sport or similar), droplets and aerosols are released. These small particles can remain in the air, and can either be transmitted directly onto other people’s mucous membranes or enter their airways. The risk of this happening is especially high in confined and poorly ventilated rooms. The coronavirus is generally transmitted via droplets and aerosols during close and prolonged contact with an infected person. So you should always sneeze or cough into a tissue or the crook of your arm, to help protect other peopleif someone close by who is infected coughs, sneezes or speaks to you, droplets or even aerosols (small suspended particles) can get into your system via the mucous membranes in your airways and you can become infected with coronavirus. Protect others by coughing or sneezing into a paper tissue or – if you don’t have one to hand – the crook of your arm.
