Answer:

Germs can spread:

directly from person to person or

indirectly from an infected person to the environment (for example toys, door handles, bench tops, bedding and toilets) and then to another person who comes in contact with the contaminated environmental source.

Germs can enter the body through the:

mouth

respiratory tract

eyes

genitals

broken skin.

Spread through the air by droplets

Some infections are spread when an infected person talks, coughs or sneezes small droplets containing infectious agents into the air. Due to their size, these droplets in the air travel only a short distance (around a metre) from the infected person before falling. The droplets in the air may be breathed in by those nearby. Spread can also occur by touching the nose or mouth with droplet contaminated hands.

Examples of droplet spread diseases:

common cold

flu

meningococcal disease

rubella.

Spread through blood or other body fluids

Spread through food or water.
