冠状病毒能通过邮件传播吗?关于在线套餐和COVID-19风险需要了解什么
小贴士:如果你担心，在处理完邮件后洗手。
由于新冠病毒(COVID-19)的爆发，许多商店的货架上的清洁用品和其他必需品完全被抢购一空，越来越多的人开始诉诸于网上购物(如果他们还不是亚马逊Prime或Instacart的狂热用户的话)。最近的一份报告显示，这种激增是如此之大，以至于连在线零售商都发现很难跟上不断增长的需求CNBC.报告、当日及次日送达服务亚马逊、Instacart和沃尔玛在该国的一些地区，对公共卫生危机的反应出现了延误。
另外值得注意的是，网购可以增加一层新冠病毒防护，因为它限制了与很多人的直接接触(你好，社会距离） - 但是，虽然它肯定看起来像更安全的选项，但可以在线购物导致Coronavirus通过邮件和包装传播？
答案是:在很大程度上，不是。在疫情爆发之初，世界卫生组织就开始着手消除疫情神话的冠状病毒——对冠状病毒可能通过包裹从中国传播的担忧就是其中之一。世界卫生组织表示，“收到来自中国的包裹的人没有感染新型冠状病毒的风险。”
但来自其他国家的邮件或来自COVID-19报告地区的美国国内快递呢?该组织在一份问答中表示:“感染者污染商业商品的可能性很低，从移动、旅行和暴露在不同条件和温度下的包裹中感染导致COVID-19的病毒的风险也很低。”
然而，这并不是说，冠状病毒永远不会出现在包装上:3月11日发表在《纽约时报》上的一项研究新英格兰医学杂志发现冠状病毒在纸板上可以存活24小时，在塑料和不锈钢上可以存活两到三天。但是,据约瑟夫•Vinetz医学博士耶鲁医学院传染病专家，这并不意味着它会感染你。他说:“检测并不意味着传播。”
耶鲁大学医学院传染病项目的首席研究员Alan Koff医学博士补充说，病毒的生存条件也可能会变得更加困难。“外面的温度和包裹运输的时间可能会影响病毒在表面的存活，”他说，这与病毒通常测试的实验室环境形成了对比。当然，这一切都意味着，即使冠状病毒确实出现在了包装上，它也可能不会到达你的家门口。
虽然通过包裹感染冠状病毒的可能性很小，但还有另一件事影响了接收邮件的冠状病毒风险:邮递员和包裹处理者的健康。这是因为，根据疾病控制和预防中心(CDC)，主要方式冠状病毒的传播是通过直接接触有症状的人的飞沫理论上，如果你的邮递员生病了，他们可以把病毒传给你。
这才是真正的威胁——可能不仅仅是理论上的。接受采访的邮递员ProPublica报道称，尽管出现了症状，他们还是被要求投递邮件，一些人说他们的工作很少或没有洗手液．也就是说,美国邮政总局最近发布了一份备忘录据联邦新闻网络报道，他概述了他们的冠状病毒政策，其中包括敦促员工在感觉不舒服时呆在家里。备忘录还提到了保持社交距离的政策，敦促运营商尽可能与客户保持3至6英尺的距离。
与此同时，纽约皇后区亚马逊仓库的工作人员3月18日获悉，他们的工厂有人被检测出covid -19呈阳性大西洋．据信，这是该公司仓库小时工中第一例确诊病例。
最终，虽然冠状病毒通过包裹或邮递员传播的可能性非常小，但可能性非常小。“我不认为邮件或包裹应该是个人的主要担忧，”约翰霍普金斯大学健康安全中心高级学者Amesh Adalja医学博士说。“这不会成为疾病的主要途径。”
如果你仍然担心，请遵循美国疾病控制与预防中心的一般建议，在处理邮件后彻底洗手。
