You may not know of this, but the coronavirus can "survive" on surfaces, and infect you.

Research* shows it lasts the least amount of time on copper surfaces, then cardboard. It lasts the longest on stainless steel and plastic...

(Exactly how long it "survives" also depends on the temperature. The hotter it is, the more likely the coronavirus will become deactivated.)

Therefore, when you get a package, there could be "active" coronavirus on it.

How can you open a delivered package, and make sure you don't get infected from the packaging?

This article tells you what to do, to make sure you're safe...
