Coronaviruses are a large family of viruses that are known to cause illnesses ranging from the common cold to pneumonia (a more severe lung infection). The evidence suggests that COVID-19 spreads mostly via droplets, like the way the common cold or flu spreads. An individual may become infected if these droplets come into contact with the eyes, nose or mouth or directly or indirectly through hands that have come into contact with the droplets.
For latest updates on COVID-19, please visit MOH’s website at https://www.moh.gov.sg/covid-19
