Findings of these studies suggest that the risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection via the fomite transmission route is low, and generally less than 1 in 10,000, which means that each contact with a contaminated surface has less than a 1 in 10,000 chance of causing an infection.

Re: risk of surface transmission of covid is low
Thanks, nice information, i often open the door in my store so more fresh air can enter. And some months passed and never get the disease. I think it is also because i don't kill insects. I think people that don't get too much ill or not ill at all is because practising first precept.

In the quarantine hotel I stayed at, someone caught Covid from an elevator button, which had been used by an infected person a few minutes ago, so it does happen.

Re: risk of surface transmission of covid is low
If you consider how often we as people touch things every day, hour, minute, etc, 1 in 10,000 times you touch something is now that low at all. In fact, its a good argument that covid can and does spread this way frequently.

More likely from breathing contaminated air in the lift. Watch out in enclosed spaces like toilets, offices, pubs and restaurants, concert halls etc. Air conditioners and fans merely spread the air further out.JamesTheGiant wrote: ↑Sun Jul 11, 2021 8:19 am In the quarantine hotel I stayed at, someone caught Covid from an elevator button, which had been used by an infected person a few minutes ago, so it does happen.
It is the respiratory activities that produce infectious aerosols like coughing, shouting, laughing, singing, heavy breathing.
