Most of my electronic purchases are second hand. To be on the safe side, I wipe the exteriors with Dettol wipes or cotton wool soaked in dettol spray. Thankfully I have no components on the way from China at present. Coronaviruses, some of which also cause the common cold, are a family of viruses spread via droplets that enter the human body via mucous membranes of the respiratory tract or conjunctivae but we are not sure of the viability of the Wuhan strain or its ability to infect us in other ways e.g. accidental ingestion from contaminated articles. That is a worry.
