  1. People can Spread the Virus when they have absolutely no symptoms
  2. It can spread from someone who is infected by coughing, sneezing, or simply talking,(and possibly by breathing)
  3. It can float in the air for up to three (3) hours. Meaning, if someone sneezes or coughs in a hallway, other people walking in the hallway hours latter potentially can get exposed to the virus
