According to the revised CDC information, the virus is spread mostly from person-to-person contact and not so much through the presence of the virus on surfaces, as was previously believed.
"COVID-19 is thought to spread mainly through close contact from person-to-person. Some people without symptoms may be able to spread the virus," the new information says.
The CDC says the coronavirus is generally spread between people who come into "Close contact with one another," as well as via "Respiratory droplets produced when an infected person coughs, sneezes, or talks."
As for fears that the coronavirus is rampant on surfaces or objects, the CDC now says it believes the virus "Does not spread easily in other ways," beyond close contact with an infected person.
The CDC does caution that "COVID-19 is a new disease and we are still learning about how it spreads."
"It may be possible for COVID-19 to spread in other ways, but these are not thought to be the main ways the virus spreads," the updated CDC information says.
