This virus can also remain active on the things which the infected person has touched and when a healthy person touches it, then the virus may get inside his body due to breathing. The air around an infected person and the things like door handles, keys, smartphones which an infected person continuously touches get contaminated with the Corona virus and it spreads through them. This is why many doctors and nurses treating Corona virus patients are getting infected with it.
