Can the new coronavirus be transmitted through objects?

Novel coronaviruses can be transmitted through contact with objects. The primary route of transmission of novel coronaviruses is through respiratory droplet transmission, followed by contact transmission.

Contact transmission means that the patient’s respiratory secretions (through sneezing, coughing droplets) will contaminate the surface of the object, or hands stained with secretions and then touch the object, thereby contaminating the surface of the object, and if others then touch or take the object after touching their eyes, mouth and nose, they may be infected with novel coronavirus. Medical alcohol and other disinfectants can be used to disinfect the surface of the outer packaging, with packaging objects in the unpacking of the outer packaging, hand washing is very important in a timely manner.
