Abstract

SARS-CoV-2 can persist on surfaces, suggesting that surface-based transmission might be important for this pathogen. We find that fomites may be a substantial source of risk, particularly in schools and child daycares. Combining surface cleaning and decontamination with strategies to reduce pathogen shedding on surfaces can help mitigate this risk.
