Question

Explain how pathogens are spread by coughing and sneezing. What can be done to prevent the spread of these diseases? (5 points)

Answer 1

Pathogens are spread by coughing and sneezing because they become airborne. Viruses and bacteria "take flight" and land on people or surfaces. To prevent this, wash your hands, don't rub your nose or put your hands in your mouth. If you are the one coughing or sneezing, cover your sneeze or cough.
