The CDC says that coronavirus does not spread easily by touching contaminated objects.

68. I've read a lot of studies & my main conclusion is ...

...most transmissions are due to being near an infected person for a prolonged time (more than a few minutes, like 30-45-60 minutes), & are either due to physical contact (hugging, kissing) or airborne, where you're inhaling the air the infected person exhaled (or coughed, or sneezed out).

One well-researched case occurred in a restaurant where 1 person infected 9 others sitting at a row of tables in a restaurant because the air conditioning recirculated the air in a line over those tables. Diners sitting at an adjacent/parallel row of tables a few feet away were fine, no infections, because the AC wasn't blowing that recirculated air over them.

So, that was a case where people sat "downwind" of an infected person for a prolonged period of time (probably 45 minutes to an hour) & 9 of them got infected. It's caused me to pay attention to which way the breeze is blowing if I have to get near other people.

I found an article about that study:
