The article doesn't talk about how it spreads, so I found it in one of the linked scientific journal article:

C. auris is known to survive on human skin and environmental surfaces for several weeks and can even tolerate being exposed to some commonly used disinfectants. Persistence on surfaces may contribute to the frequently observed intrahospital transmission of C. auris within healthcare settings. For example, an outbreak of C. auris at the neurosciences ICU of the Oxford University Hospitals in the United Kingdom was linked to the use of reusable axillary temperature probes [51]. Persistence in harsh environmental conditions is a hallmark feature of C. auris that distinguishes it from the majority of other human fungal pathogens.
