A condition transmitted by direct or indirect contact is often referred to as a communicable disease. Examples include influenza, which can spread through respiratory droplets when an infected person coughs or sneezes (direct contact), and norovirus, which can be transmitted through contaminated surfaces or food (indirect contact). Effective hygiene practices, such as handwashing and sanitizing surfaces, are crucial for preventing the spread of these conditions.
The condition that is transmitted from one person to another either by direct or indirect contact with contaminated objects is known as a communicable or infectious disease. Examples include the common cold, influenza, and COVID-19.
HIV is not airborne. It is transmitted by direct or indirect contact with an infected fluid.
Yes, either way.
Let us be correct and call these bacteria and/or virus or microbes. They each can be transmitted through direct contact, indirect contact or through the air. Direct contact includes touching with bare skin. Indirect contact is by leaving the microbes on a surface for someone else to pick up.
GAS is usually transmitted via large respiratory droplets or direct contact with infected persons or carriers. It is rarely transmitted by indirect contact through objects.
A disease that is transmitted from one person to another through direct or indirect contact is known as a contagious disease. Direct contact involves physical interaction between individuals, such as touching or kissing, while indirect contact can occur through contaminated surfaces, objects, or airborne particles. Examples include influenza, the common cold, and COVID-19. Proper hygiene practices and vaccination can help prevent the spread of these diseases.
A disease that is transmitted from one person to another is a communicable disease.
When transmission occurs from one person to another through casual contact it is called contagious. When the primary route is through blood and body fluids it is called infectious.
HIV is not transmitted airborne because the virus is not in the air droplets we breathe out. HIV is transmitted by direct or indirect contact with infected material.
direct contact, fomite (indirect contact, object), vector (indirect contact, insect or animal), airborne (droplets, indirect contact)
MRSA is caught by direct contact (and indirect contact) via a break in the skin.
