Best Answer

Sneezing is perhaps the most common way. Sneezing can propel air and mucous secretions in the form of tiny droplets at a very high speed and to a great distance in a room. Even walking into a room in which someone has very recently sneezed without covering the nose and mouth may expose you to some infections.

When you cough or specially sneeze, millions of droplets are poured in the air. Some minimal 'dose' of microorganisms are required to transmit the infection. This happens in some what closed space or you need to be close to the person coughing or sneezing.
