Transmission Virus Handshake

The transmission-virus-handshake icon represents human-to-human contact as a means of transmitting a virus. It visually depicts two individuals shaking hands, symbolizing the potential for the disease to spread through physical contact. This symbol originates from the medical and health fields, where it's used to represent the risks associated with direct human-to-human contact.

In software and digital platforms, this icon may appear in health and medical applications, such as social distance monitoring tools, contact tracing apps, and pandemic response systems. For instance, it could be used in a health app to provide guidance on safe social interactions during a pandemic.

From a UX perspective, this icon effectively communicates the risks associated with human-to-human contact. It helps users understand the importance of maintaining social distance and taking other precautions to prevent the spread of disease.

Transmission Virus Handshake is one of 142 icons in Covid Icons, made by Streamline and released under CC BY 4.0. It is drawn on a 24 × 24 grid with a 1.5 stroke.

Sign in (it's free), then open Get icon, Install with shadcn CLI, and pick your package manager to copy the command. It adds TransmissionVirusHandshakeIcon to components/icons/covid-transmission-virus-handshake.tsx: one file, a size prop (24 by default) and every SVG prop, with no icon package.

Copy it as React (from Get icon, or the Code section): a typed TransmissionVirusHandshakeIcon component you paste into your project, with no package to install. Only the icons you import reach your bundle. It works in Next.js and any React app.

Open Get icon, then Copy as code, and pick Vue, Svelte, Angular, Solid or Preact; the Code section shows each one too. Every version is one self-contained component with the SVG inside, and SVG and data URL copies are there for plain HTML and CSS.

With Pro, the shadcn.io MCP server lets Claude Code, Cursor or any MCP client find the Transmission Virus Handshake icon, or any of 142 Covid Icons icons, and install it from a prompt.

It's drawn in currentColor, so it takes the text color wherever you use it: a class like text-primary recolors it. To bake a color in, set one in Customize before you copy.

Set width and height on the component, or a class like size-6. It's drawn on a 24 × 24 grid, so it stays sharp at any size. Customize also sets the size it exports at, its padding and rotation, and its stroke.

Transmission Virus Handshake is a line icon drawn with a stroke width of 1.5. Change it in Customize before you copy, or pass strokeWidth to the installed component when all of its strokes share one width.

Yes. It follows the text color, so with text-foreground (or any theme token) it changes with your light and dark themes. The icon is a vector, so it needs no separate dark asset.

Next to a visible label it's decoration: add aria-hidden="true" so screen readers skip it. Standing alone, as in an icon button, give the button a name instead, like aria-label="Transmission Virus Handshake", so screen readers say what it does.

Yes. TransmissionVirusHandshakeIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <TransmissionVirusHandshakeIcon aria-hidden="true" /> works, and so do role="img" with aria-label, or a title child, when it carries meaning on its own.

Yes. Open Get icon, then Download file: SVG for code or design tools like Figma; PNG, WebP or JPEG at 512px; or an ICO favicon with 16, 32 and 48px inside. Each one uses what you set in Customize.

Yes, with credit: CC BY 4.0 asks you to credit the author (Streamline) where you use the icons. The full terms are in the license, linked on this page.

Yes. CC BY 4.0 asks you to credit the author where you use the icons, for example "Icons by Streamline, CC BY 4.0" on an about or credits page.

Yes. Copying and downloading it is free, and the shadcn CLI install only needs a free account.
