According to Journal of Hospital Infection, the virus causing the COVID19 Pandemic can remain and survive on inanimate surfaces for days, weeks and even months depending on the surface.
According to the Department of Health (DOH), the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and the World Health Organization (WHO), we can pick up COVID-19 when we touch a contaminated surface and then touch our face afterward.
The virus can last up to 24 hours on cardboard, paper and money and 2-3 days on plastic and stainless steel surfaces.
As for online shopping packages, YES, you can be infected with the virus as most of these packages came from China as well.
