During the epidemic, many people still have to send and receive express delivery. Can positive express be transmitted to people?

During the epidemic, many people still have to send and receive express delivery, and positive express delivery will be transmitted to people. This possibility exists theoretically. Experts say that express delivery will spread the virus to the human body and need to meet three conditions. First, the courier is contaminated by the virus, second, the virus is still alive, and finally, people will be infected by direct contact with the virus when receiving the courier. Therefore, this also reminds the broad masses of the people that the express delivery must be disinfected first, and do not directly contact the express delivery.

First, positive express delivery can infect people.

There is also an article published in a medical journal. If the temperature is about 22℃ and the humidity is 66%, COVID-19 can survive on printed matter for a period of time, on the surface of clothes for two days and on some copper surfaces for four hours. Courier bags are mostly plastic or box products. Once the courier is infected, it will also be contaminated with some COVID-19 and can survive for a long time. Once contacted by people, the consequences are unimaginable. A courier will contact many people from delivery to receipt. Maybe one of them is a virus carrier, and the virus will attach to the courier and infect other couriers.

Second, matters needing attention when sending and receiving express delivery

When sending and receiving express delivery, please ask the courier to leave the parcel outside the door as much as possible, and don't take anything into the room immediately. You can disinfect yourself first, don't contact the courier directly, and avoid the pick-up peak when you pick up the courier to prevent cross-infection. Third, wear a mask in time, and don't touch the skin with the hands that have touched the courier. Put the outer package of the package in the trash can, don't take it home, and wash your hands in time after picking up the courier.

Three. Concluding remarks

If you want to live in a safe place, you must start with small things. Wear a mask whether you send a courier or go out to buy food. Don't touch other parts of your body with bare and slow hands at will, and don't put them directly near your nose or mouth.
