According to the NSW Australia healthcare department, coronaviruses can spread between people who come in contact with infectious person within 15 minutes to 2 hours, even when you just stay in the same closed space with victim.

CoronaViruses transmission: from 15 minutes to 2 hours

On January 30th, the healthcare department of New South Wales, Australia has issued documents to inform their people of the dangerous coronaviruses (also known as 2019-nCoV) which have spread to 18 countries and regions in the world.

According to this government source, the man-to-man spread of coronaviruses often occur when people have contact with the infectious patient in certain types. The minimum time this virus can be transmitted via this way is estimated to be 15 minutes for close contact, which means face-to-face conversations.

When people stay with the infectious person in the same closed space for 2 hours (house, office, classroom, etc), the coronavirus spread from man to man can also occur. The longer they stay with each other, the more likely they are infected.

Similar to MERS or SARS, Coronaviruses can spread mainly via respiratory droplets when an ill person coughs or sneezes. One can also get affected if accidentally touch objects that have these droplets.

An important notice is even when the infectious person hasn’t had any symptom yet, the coronaviruses might still be transmitted during the incubation period.
