COVID 19 Concerns.: Surface contamination is a more minor mode of COVID 19 transmission. This Not a close contact situation. In the meantime, wash hands often with warm water & soap for at least 20 seconds. Avoid touching eyes, nose or mouth unless hands have just been washed. Use a face covering or mask when in public. Practice social distancing – stay at least 6 feet from others (outside of family you live with).
