- A South Korean e-commerce warehouse has reported an outbreak of coronavirus cases among its employees.
- Fear of a new outbreak from shipped packages has grown, but the odds of becoming infected from a box or other package is slim.
- The World Health Organization says that there’s no evidence that the virus can survive on cardboard longer than a day under the best conditions.
Shortly after the coronavirus pandemic became a worldwide health crisis, many people wondered just how feasible it would be that the virus could latch on to surfaces like cardboard boxes and remain alive for days. If it could, that would mean that packages shipped across the country or even overseas had the potential to carry the virus with them.
Now, with a warehouse facility in South Korea revealing a huge outbreak among its staff, the answer to that question is perhaps more important than ever. Unfortunately, there’s little clarity to be found, and that means I have both good news and bad news.
