COVID-19: Still no proof virus can be spread through surface contact – WHO TuesdayThoughts ReadThis

But the WHO also noted that studies about the ability of the coronavirus to survive should be viewed with some skepticism since such studies are conducted in laboratories with little bearing on real-world conditions. Although there have been no cases to date of people catching the virus from a surface, such transmission can’t be ruled out given the behavior of other known coronaviruses.
