Viral diseases are communicable and can be transferred from person-to-person through direct hand-to-hand contact or through air droplets. When a person coughs\/sneezes, the virus goes with the secretion\/mucus spray and can either travel via air, which we can inhale, or can land on surfaces (like table) and can stay alive and contagious up to 36 hours, especially in cold areas. The virus, specifically the flu virus, has an envelope\/covering that hardens into a rubbery gel when it’s cold, making it tougher and shields the virus when it passes from person to person. In warmer temperatures however, the protective gel envelope melts to liquid phase, which is not that tough and so the virus loses its ability to spread.
