Examples of Spreading in a Sentence
Thanks to our contact tracing program we found these clusters quickly, allowing us to address them immediately and help prevent the virus from spreading further.
The social networks that United States have as humans mean that United States have contact with a lot of different people. And while this outbreak is spreading in a particular social network right now, I think we've messaged from the start that there could be cases that occur outside those networks and that we need to be vigilant for it and ready to respond and message about it, i know that in Europe and other places where this outbreak is also expanding, they have reported cases in United States, in women. And I think the same thing is happening and expected to happen here in United States.
