The flu spreads primarily from person to person through droplets produced when an infected person coughs, sneezes, or talks. These small airborne droplets can land directly in the mouths or noses of people who are nearby (usually within 6 feet).
Less commonly, a person can also catch the flu by touching a surface or object that has the virus on it and then touching their own mouth, nose, or eyes.
