FACT: To date, there is no evidence or information to suggest that the COVID-19 virus transmitted through houseflies or mosquitoes. COVID-19 spreads primarily through droplets generated when an infected person coughs, sneezes or speaks. You can also become infected by touching a contaminated surface and then touching your eyes, nose or mouth before washing your hands. To protect yourself, clean your hands thoroughly and often and avoid touching your eyes, mouth and nose.
