The findings showed just two out of 100 infected people had caught the virus from non-household contacts, while one in 10 had contracted the disease

South Korean disease transmission experts have discovered that individuals were bound to get the new coronavirus from individuals from their own family units than from contacts outside the home.

An examination distributed in the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on July 16 glanced in detail at 5,706 "file patients" who had tried constructive for the coronavirus and in excess of 59,000 individuals who came into contact with them.
