Can mosquitoes spread the coronavirus? Read this:
No. While mosquitoes can spread some diseases, most notably malaria, experts said coronavirus disease is not among them.
The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said it has no data to suggest the coronavirus is spread by either mosquitoes or ticks. Covid-19 is mainly spread from person to person through droplets people spray when they talk, cough or sneeze. And the World Health Organization said a mosquito bite won’t give you the virus.A recent study offers an explanation. Researchers said the virus would have to infect the mosquito and multiply inside of it in order for the mosquito to pass it on to people. That failed to happen when researchers injected three species of mosquitoes with the virus.
