      Chickenpox is a virus and we catch it by breathing in air contaminated with this virus. This can be because someone with the virus coughs or sneezes, releasing the virus into the air, or by touching something contaminated with the virus – the spots on someone with chickenpox or something they have touched or sneezed on – then touching your face.
