Transmission
The first detected cases of coronavirus had a history of contact with
bats which caused the suspicion of zoonotic measures (11). Further
studies suggested the presence of viruses in body fluids thus droplets
and body fluids including sputum and blood could be a means of
transmission so precautions should be taken towards blood donation (1,
5). Direct human-to-human transmission and airborne transmission in
small closed-areas have also been suspected (10). There is no evidence
suggesting vertical mother to child transmission (16).
