Yes, saliva can carry germs and viruses that cause illness. Can Saliva Spread the Coronavirus? The short answer is yes, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). As with other respiratory illnesses, contact with contaminated surfaces or objects can also lead to transmission of COVID-19 through contact tracing and lab testing. It's important to follow recommended precautions for minimizing the spread of infection including frequent washing of hands with soap and water or using hand sanitizers containing at least 60% alcohol, avoiding close contact with people who are sick and avoiding touching your face or eyes. Additionally, it's best to refrain from kissing, hugging or shaking hands.

Yes, saliva can carry germs, since it contains proteins and other materials that may contain pathogens. These pathogens can cause sickness if transferred to another person or surface through contact or droplet transmission. Additionally, viruses such as influenza and the common cold can be transmitted via secretions from the respiratory tract, including saliva. Therefore, it is important to practice good hygiene, such as washing your hands frequently and avoiding close contact with others when you are ill to prevent spreading any illnesses.
