Did you notice they said that transmission from person to person is very difficult? That is a relief. The very thought of an airborne disease that can spread through air conditioning systems, is scary.

Yes. Apparently it can only live outside the body for about three hours, which is good, as it makes contact tracing more possible. Hopefully they'll soon determine the conditions under which the infection spreads. I don't think they yet know how soon after a person picks up the virus they can pass it on.
