While the majority of cases result in mild symptoms, some progress to acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) likely precipitated by cytokine storm, multi-organ failure, septic shock, and blood clots.The time from exposure to onset of symptoms is typically around five days but may range from two to fourteen days.
This occurs mainly when people are in close contact (two metres or six feet) via small droplets produced during coughing, sneezing, or talking. Contaminated droplets exhaled by infected people are then inhaled into the lungs, or settle on other people's faces to cause new infection. The droplets are relatively heavy, usually fall to surfaces, and do not travel far through the air.
