Whether we are working at the office or from home, it is important not to put our guard down and keep taking care of ourselves and our coworkers and family members.
The main way the virus is propagated is from person to person, through tiny respiratory drops generated when coughing, sneezing or talking.
It is possible to become infected with COVID-19 when touching a surface or object contaminated with the virus and then touching your face, mouth, nose or eyes.
Asymptomatic people can transmit the virus.
