5/20/20 CDC now says coronavirus 'does not spread easily' via contaminated surfaces. "It may be possible that a person can get COVID-19 by touching a surface or object that has the virus on it and then touching their own mouth, nose, or possibly their eyes," the CDC said on a now-archived page from March 28. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) NOW says "the novel virus “does not spread easily” from "touching surfaces or objects" — but experts warn that doesn’t mean it’s no longer necessary to take "practical and realistic" precautions in stopping the spread of COVID-19.
I don't blame you Rookie. First is was gloves. Then masks. Then gloves AND masks. Then don't buy masks because the hospitals need them. Then go ahead and wear a mask if you want to. Then everyone SHOULD wear a mask. Then everyone MUST wear a mask. Then wipe everything down. NOW, you don't have to wipe anything down? Yep, EXPERTS The latest directions on what to do. Before I retired I was in charge of 30 welders on 3 shifts. I had to give them directions on all the company policies. If I would have given them the same kind of directions we have been given they would have found me hanging from the crane trolley.
