No evidence of COVID-19 spreading through mail or parcels: WHO

Washington: Experts have addressed the concerns about spread of the pandemic through mail and parcels.
There is no evidence that the new coronavirus, COVID-19, is spreading through mail or parcels, Associated Press quoted the World Health Organization and US Centres for Disease Control and Prevention as saying on Thursday.
Mostly COVID-19 is spread from droplets produced when an infected person coughs or sneezes, which are inhaled by people nearby.
Health experts say the risks are very low that COVID-19 will remain on envelopes or packages and infect anyone who handles them. It is still a good idea to wash hands thoroughly and regularly and avoid touching face after handling deliveries, said the AP report.
