Hi. I am really scared about touching things in general because of the Coronavirus, but I also have a paper cut on my thumb and want to check if it is possible to contract it through it getting through my cut? That’s not possible, right? I am so scared of touching anything. I’m scared to get up or even make a cup of tea because I’m so scared of touching anything. I feel stressed and exhausted and need help. I feel utterly terrified and can hardly think of anything other than germs. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
Well, there has been no evidence suggesting parentral transmission. Its entry into body has been largely suggested to occur through mucus membranes of nose, mouth and conjunctiva. In any case of a person happens to pick virus even if if doesn't enter through blood, it is likely to enter through mouth or nose or eyes. Luckily the virus is susceptible to even common disinfectants. So a thorough decontamination of the objects once followed by regular handwashing eliminates almost all the risk. Being cautious is good however being overly concerned isn't right at this point in time where you are already stressed. Just maintain proper hygiene there is nothing to worry
