Can you catch Covid-19 from delivered packages?

With most shops closed, people have been turning to online shopping and home deliveries in order to purchase necessities.

No cases have been related to deliveries and South Korean health officials have played down the chance of infection from packages. However health authorities and infectious disease experts have not ruled out the possibility of infection if a person touches their eyes, nose or mouth after contact with a contaminated package.The World Health Organization has cited laboratory research that found the coronavirus that causes Covid-19 could persist for up to 24 hours on cardboard and 72 hours on plastic and stainless steel.

Both Coupang and MarketKurly, which have reported infections from their logistics centres, provide fast grocery delivery services.

RTÉ. The Government SPIN machine. Ignoring anything newsworthy that doesn’t fit the Government narrative. Just switch to virgin media or independent journalism for real news. The lack of coverage of suspension of screening services and deaths in nursing homes says it all.

That’s old news!

Slow news day, obviously. Actually, there's lots out there you could be reporting on but instead just sticking to the party line, huh. On May 22 the CDC came out specifically with an update that C-19 does not spread easily from touching surfaces. So why the fear-mongering?

Disband the Who.

Everything we touch needs to be copper plated.....

Who cares and the point being

Jesus Christ this has to be stopped, now people you can’t access what you need because the Covid19 committee has you locked up like prisoners but we noticed your shopping online so that has to be stopped too, scaremongering fro Rte at its best. This farce has to stop

yawn the who are to be believed about nothing lies and more lies
