It would be very unlikely to happen that way. Make sure to wash your hands with soap and water and take other precautions.

Covid has not been shown to spread through packaging. For healthy diet: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/., exercise 30 minutes/day, drink enough water daily so your urine is mostly colorless, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. Get HPV, Flu and Covid vaccines. Wish you good health!
