How is coronavirus spread besides coughing or sneezing, or physical contact?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Neutral surfaces: There is evidence that COVID 19 virus particles can survive on neutral surfaces like countertops, packaging, eating utensils for several hours. That is why frequent hand washing (at least 20 seconds with soap & water), avoiding touch your face, and disinfecting of frequently touched surfaces is crucial to minimize spread of virus
