well, you are going to have it out in the kitchen, things like milk, bread, cans while you are cooking.
You touch them and keep preparing your food with your "clean" hands.
People wander around touching, almost damn near
fondling
every item at a grocery store. Sometimes looking for the freshest date, and sometimes for no fucking reason that I can tell.
Those people just wandered in off the street from whatever they were doing, and I doubt they were clean... and the ones touching everything mostly look like the worst offenders.... anyway
Fomites are avoidable as long as you're washing your hands and not sticking your fingers in your nose or in your eyes. And in any case, door handles, keyboards, elevator buttons, hand rails, touch screens, light switches and cups are more likely to have these things than items at the store.
There even seems to be some idea that COVID transmission through surface vector is nearly impossible.
But despite me saying research shows that virologists don't think surfaces transmitting COVID is anything more than incredibly rare, they still want me to help wipe everything down every week.
