What steps will you take to break the chain of infection anytime sterile gloves are required

Understanding how the infection is spread is essential to our efforts to prevent and contain its spread, especially when there is no definitive treatment available.

Modes of Transmission

Contact Transmission

occurs when there is physical contact between an infected person/contaminated object and another person.
This can happen in two ways:

1. Through direct contact where the infection travels to another person through touch.
2. Through indirect contact when an individual touches an object contaminated by COVID-19.
