<human>:  How does the coronavirus spread?
<bot>: The coronavirus is spread primarily through respiratory droplets. When people who are infected with the virus cough, sneeze, or speak, they generate these droplets, which can then be inhaled by or come into contact with other people. The virus can also be spread when an infected person touches a surface and another person subsequently touches the same surface and then their face. It is also possible that the virus can be spread through airborne transmission.
