What is environment-to-human transmission of the virus?
It refers to people becoming infected by touching contaminated goods. "Environmental spread" of COVID-19 happens only when the following conditions are met at the same time:
*The goods are heavily contaminated
*The virus can survive on the surface of the goods for a long time
*Those who were in contact with the contaminated goods didn't take any preventive measures

How to prevent such transmission?
Environment-to-human transmission of the virus is still rare in China, so wear face masks and practice proper hand hygiene when you need to touch goods that may be contaminated.
