Direct, close, skin-to-skin contact is considered to be the main route of transmission, which can occur in a variety of ways.
As the outbreak continues, the virus may soon start to spread further and begin to affect different demographic groups.

"This virus could live on those surfaces for a period of time and then spread to another person," Rimoin said.General hygiene: Wash hands with soap and water or use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer
To reduce the likelihood of skin-to-skin contact with someone who may be infected with the virus, wear clothing that covers your body. "At the same time, it's not like people will need to go back to those old COVID days where there was a lot of confusion and wiping down of groceries and disinfecting household items where there's literally no chance of any risk," says Brownstein.
