- If a person who has COVID is speaking in an indoor large conference and someone else in the back of the room receives COVID from them by breathing in COVID-contaminated particles from that person that travel through and remain suspended in the air, what kind of transmission is this called? (1 pt)
- Direct contact transmission
- Airborne transmission
- Surface transmission
- Let’s say someone who has COVID sneezes and some of the COVID-contaminated particles land on a stairway railing and someone else then touches the railing and some of those contaminated particles get on their hand and they touch their eyes, nose, or mouth before washing their hands. This person then becomes infected with COVID. What kind of transmission is this called? (1 pt)
- Direct contact transmission
- Airborne transmission
- Surface transmission
- Name one of the three methods of transmission (see question 9) and briefly describe it. (1 pt)
Airborne, Surface, or Direct Contract transmission with appropriately similar description.
Airborne Transmission: Infection spread through exposure to those virus-containing respiratory droplets comprised of smaller droplets and particles that can remain suspended in the air over long distances (usually greater than 6 feet) and time (typically hours).
Direct Contact Transmission: Infection spread through exposure to virus-containing respiratory droplets (i.e., larger and smaller droplets and particles) exhaled by an infectious person. Transmission is most likely to occur when someone is close to the infectious person, generally within about 6 feet.
Surface Transmission: Infection spread through direct contact with an infectious person (e.g., touching during a handshake) or with an article or surface that has become contaminated. The latter is sometimes referred to as “fomite transmission”.
