Original Note:
COVID-19 spreads mainly through the air, so-called airborne transmission. Handwashing can help with fomite (surface) transmission. However, CDC guidance suggests that <1 in 10,000 infections spread via that route. The advice in likely insufficient "to avoid getting sick." https://archive.cdc.gov/www_cdc_gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/more/science-and-research/surface-transmission.html
