The CDC says coronavirus 'does not spread easily' on surfaces or objects. Here's what we know.

Transmission through surfaces is much less likely than other forms of contact, the primary mode being person-to-person contact in an enclosed space for a long period of time, Juthani notes. "If you wash your hands several times a day, particularly after handling objects that others could have touched, the risk of transmission is significantly lower from an already lower risk of transmission event," she said. The CDC points out that while chances aren't high, the risk is still there. "This is not thought to be the main way the virus spreads, but we are still learning more about this virus," the CDC said. Should I still be washing my hands after getting my packages or mail? Yes. USToday
