The droplets moisture from coughing and sneezing can transmit the virus.

Moisture that is left on books, blankets, utensils, or some other object that was previously used by an infected person. The moisture left on objects usually comes in the form of pus.

Small pox virus usually enters through the respiratory system, in other words, through the air. In other words, a "bubble space" of about 6 feet of an infected person is "infected". Prolonged face-to-face contact can trasmitt the disease to another person. []
