Like the common cold, the coronavirus (Covid-19) infection usually occurs through close contact with a person via cough and sneezes or hand contact. 

The best way to reduce your risk of infection is by washing your hands more often for 20 seconds. NHS 111 has an online coronavirus service that can tell you if you need medical help and advise you what to do.
