How is the new coronavirus transmitted?
Transmission appears to be through close contact with respiratory secretions generated by a sick person's cough or sneeze.

These secretions would infect another person if they come in contact with their nose, eyes, or mouth.
Transmission by air over distances greater than 1-2 meters seems unlikely.
