Potential indirect route of transmission is by touching surfaces. This virus may lead to severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) and is predominantly transmitted person to person via droplets. Due to the virus’ potential for a prolonged stability on surfaces, transmission through contaminated surfaces is being investigated as a possible route of exposure.
