For example, a cough, a sneeze or a handshake could cause transmission. The spread may also be caused by coming into contact with something an infected person has touched and then touching your mouth, nose or eyes.virus 病毒 mammal 哺乳动物 respiratory 呼吸的 infection 感染transmit 传染 case 病例 diagnose 诊断 cure 治愈 occur 发生contact 接触1.
