A member asked:
Could i have caught covid-19 from the plastic packaging of a parcel i received? i wore my mask when i received it, sanitised my hands before taking it off, covered the whole package in sanitizer. it's been almost seven days and my glands are swollen

Probably not: It looks like you took a number of precautions. Remember - that surface contamination is only a minor mode of transmission for COVID 19. The swollen glands might be related to COVID 19 or other conditions. COVID 19 Sx's may include fever, cough, feeling tired, shortness of breath, muscle aches, headache, sore throat, chills, chest pain, nasal congestion, loss of taste or smell, nausea, & vomiting.
