Respiratory droplet precaution is said to be the mode of transmission of COVID-19

virus as released by the World Health Organization WHO. Droplet precaution refer to infection
prevention and control interventions to be used in addition to routine practices and are
intended to prevent transmission of pathogens spread through closely by respiratory or
mucous membrane contact with respiratory secretions. Droplet precautions are measures
used for diseases that are spread by direct contact through droplet transmission. Droplet
transmission refers to a large droplet, greater than 5 microns in diameter, generated from the
respiratory tract of the source patient during coughing, sneezing or during procedures such
as suctioning and bronchoscopy. These droplets are propelled a short distance of less than 2
meters of the new host or fall onto surfaces.
