Usually through microscopic droplets, the so-called Flugge droplets, emitted from the upper airways of an infected subject during coughing and in lesser measure with talking. These may persist in the air up to two hours.
The virus may be also be present in surface skin debris and to a lesser extent in excreta: it is therefore advisable to treat clothes and sheets with a bleach solution before stowing away.
An infected patient may become infectious 5-8 days after inhalation and may remain infectious for up to 3 weeks before the first symptoms (usually a face rash) show.
