Message: [QUOTE="huskyd, post: 3918450, member: 6488"] Catching the virus from surfaces in not likely but possible. If someone has recently coughed or sneezed on an area and the person is infected, the virus can be transmitted--but also requires your touching your face, nose, ears, eyes, etc. I wear gloves when I go shopping. People are forever picking up, examining, rejecting fresh produce. They touch other items, too, perhaps to read a label. Though the risk is thought to be minimum, it's easy to pull on surgical style gloves for an added measure of protection. Whether you wear gloves inside or out doesn't matter much, so long as you don't touch an infected area. [/QUOTE]
