<human>: I have been hearing a lot about the Coronavirus lately and want to know if it is contagious.
<bot>: Yes, the Coronavirus is contagious. It can spread from person-to-person through close contact such as when an infected person coughs or sneezes near another person. The virus can also be spread through touching objects or surfaces that have been contaminated with the virus and then touching your mouth, nose, or eyes.
