Will coronavirus live in our bags

Just thinking, when we have parcels in our bags, covered in plasic so semi permeable, does that mean the virus can survive longer (if present) on these. As you delve into your bag with the said parcels (and potentially, virus) does it become airborne from the agitation each time?

By the time the parcels/packets have gone into the bags it's perhaps a little late to be concerned by what's on them by then...

I get more annoyed by the scruffy, lazy t@@@s who leave half eaten sandwiches/sausage rolls, crisp wrappers, pastie wrappers, laggy bands,
739's and forgotten about letters and small packets in the front pockets of the bags........

I think I've got a full alien eco system in my bag. I know if I get hungry on my delivery, I can always pick a mushroom out of the main pocket too keep me going

Apparently it survives longest on smooth surfaces ie metal,glass polished worktops and not long on rough or porous areas.
