How is the Rhino Virus transferred?

The Rhinovirus, responsible for the common cold, is primarily transmitted through close contact with an infected person. The virus can spread via:

1. Respiratory Droplets:

- When an infected person coughs, sneezes, or talks, they release tiny respiratory droplets containing the virus into the air.

- Healthy individuals can inhale these droplets, resulting in infection.

2. Contact with Contaminated Surfaces or Objects:

- Infected respiratory droplets can land on surfaces and objects surrounding the infected person.

- Touching such contaminated surfaces and then touching the face, particularly the eyes, nose, or mouth, can transmit the virus.

3. Direct Contact:

- Sharing or touching objects like toys, utensils, or personal items with an infected person can facilitate viral transmission.

The Rhinovirus spreads quickly in public places, particularly during cold and flu seasons, due to the increased proximity and interactions between people.
