Still debated, probably not a significant vector, but definitely possible: Lin, N., Zhang, B., Shi, R. et al. Decay pattern of SARS-CoV-2 RNA surface contamination in real residences. Sci Rep 14, 6190 (2024).
Key quote from conclusion:
The environmental contamination of object surfaces by SARS-CoV-2 RNA in residences of COVID-19 patients is low, but cross-contamination caused by water taps and washing basins may have hidden transmission risks. Generally, fomite transmission played a limited role in COVID-19 spread. Even the residence was contaminated by SARS-CoV-2, it was reduced by 90% three days after the patient left.
Edited to add: I mention it mostly because where I live is a high-traffic part of the building with people constantly using the elevators and opening doors. That’s why I’m still careful about it. If I lived in a lower density place I probably wouldn’t go as hard on the “no touchy” thing.
Ok, I could have been clearer. Blame the long covid.
You should be wearing N95/KN94 masks whenever you are outside of that closed alone room, especially when you can’t keep a 6’ gap from others, washing your hands and using 70% ethanol hand sanitiser, and not touching all the things all the time. These are effective and backed by science. Additional measures such as blocking the gap under your door and buying air purifiers for your closed apartment where you remain alone are worthless additions to that routine.
