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!

Friends Wedding is outdoors. We got two unvaccinated kids. We are vaccinated and boosted. Some guests are not at all. If we stay distance and not touch things others touched. Wash hands/wear mask when needed. Chances of bringing covid home low?

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
