Yes, it is safe.People receiving packages from China are not at risk of contracting

the new coronavirus.

In general, because of poor survivability of these coronaviruses on surfaces, there

is likely very low risk of spread from products or packaging that are shipped over a

period of days or weeks at ambient temperatures. Coronaviruses are generally

thought to be spread most often by respiratory droplets. Currently there is no

evidence to support transmission of COVID-19 associated with imported goods and

there have not been any cases
