SARS-CoV-2 has a viral envelope, which reduces the transmission possibility via objects[0]:
"The lipid bilayer envelope of these viruses is relatively sensitive to desiccation, heat, and detergents, therefore these viruses are easier to sterilize than non-enveloped viruses, have limited survival outside host environments, and typically must transfer directly from host to host."
