Interesting study regarding how people get infected

Dr Cevik starts with a big Chinese study that traced 2,147 close contacts of 157 confirmed Covid-19 cases. The overall infection rate was six per cent, but it was much higher among friends (22 per cent) and family members (18 per cent). In terms of location, the main risk factors were homes (13 per cent) transport (12 per cent) and dinner and entertainment (seven per cent).

How coronavirus spreads and why it affects countries differently
This reveals a different outcome than one might expect just thinking about this logically. So, the highest incidents of infections are actually from one's own Friends and family. Interesting.
