Study reveals SARS-CoV-2 on hands and frequently-touched surfaces as key predictors of household transmission

A study investigating risk factors and vectors of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) household transmission reveals that the presence of the virus on the hands of primary and secondary cases and on frequently-touched surfaces is associated with transmission risk. The study is published in the journal THE LANCET Microbe.
