Research shows that when viruses are breathed out, particularly through coughing or sneezing, they can travel at least 2 metres/6 feet in the air.
The viruses can then:
Be breathed in whilst in the air.
Fall on to the surfaces around them, where they can be picked up by another person.
Viruses are also placed on surfaces when someone touches them with the virus on their hands.
On the next few pages are ideas for how to reduce the amount of virus in your home by keeping yourself safe and reducing the chances of passing viruses on to others.
