Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Droplet transmission refers to the spread of pathogens through respiratory droplets that are produced when an infected individual talks, coughs or sneezes. These droplets are relatively large and do not travel far, usually traveling less than one meter before falling to the ground or surfaces. This mode of transmission is distinct from airborne transmission, which refers to the spread of pathogens through smaller respiratory particles that can remain suspended in the air for longer periods of time.
