The World Health Organization (WHO) and Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) have made public assurances that the risk when handling goods or packages is low.
According to the PHAC, there is no known risk of coronaviruses entering on parcels or packages. In general, because of poor survivability of coronaviruses on surfaces, there is a low risk of spread from products or packaging shipped over a period of days or weeks. Currently, there is no evidence of COVID-19 being transmitted by goods or packages.
