The particles can range from larger respiratory droplets or small aerosol particles.It is important for everybody to maintain respiratory etiquette to avoid this condition.
Microbiology of Covid 19
Coronaviruses,Positive sense, single-stranded enveloped RNA virus belongs to the family Coronaviridae. Coronavirus name is derived from the Latin corona, meaning crown. The viral envelope under electron microscopy appears crown-like due to small bulbar projections formed by the viral spike (S) peplomers. Neutralizing antibodies against the S-protein are believed to play an important role in protective immunity. Coronaviruses are found in avian and mammalian species. They resemble each other in morphology and chemical structure: for example, the coronaviruses of humans and cattle are antigenically related. There is no evidence, however, that human coronaviruses can be transmitted by animals. In animals, various coronaviruses invade many different tissues and cause a variety of diseases, but in humans they are only proved to cause mild upper respiratory infections, i.e. common colds.
