I just burned 80 candles. This virus is shed by infected people, mostly where they have touched or sat on.
You touch the same spot, the virus gets on your hands.
But skin on palms and fingers is too tough for virus to get inside body.
When you touch your eyes, nose or mouth, then virus gets in easily.

Yes, virus can be in air from sneezing and coughing.
But probability of someone doing that near you is much smaller than
you touching a thousand places touched by infected people.
This virus can stay alive on surfaces for as long as 2 days.
