CDC says this is how most people likely caught COVID-19

[Yoni Heisler]

• Most coronavirus infections occur when someone is standing within six feet of someone who has COVID-19.
• Indoor gatherings, even when people are socially distanced, remain risky because droplets linger in the air longer when there's poor ventilation.
• The vaccination effort in the US needs to ramp up in order to combat the spread of a more contagious and resilient COVID strain from South Africa.

A lot of what we know, or thought we knew, about the coronavirus has changed over the past few months. Of course, this is to be expected given that health experts and researchers were initially flummoxed by how the coronavirus manifested in patients and how it managed to spread so quickly.

Now that we're almost a year into the pandemic, health experts have a much firmer view of how the coronavirus spreads and, in turn, what can be done to reduce the probability of transmission. Suffice it to say, endlessly washing your countertops and disinfecting your home, while important, doesn't address how most people likely came into contact with COVID-19.
