SARS-CoV-2 needs that outer shell to be able to infect you. Lab tests have found that even when hand sanitizer is diluted well below recommended levels of concentration, it's still very effective at inactivating SARS-CoV-2: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7431409/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7431409/ It's a relatively fragile virus. Fact is, there's very little evidence of COVID-19 spreading via surfaces, so hand hygiene and surface cleaning probably makes little if any difference: https://www.thelancet.com/journals/laninf/article/PIIS1473-3099(20)30678-2/fulltext https://www.thelancet.com/journals/laninf/article/PIIS1473-3... With some diseases surfaces certainly can be a common source of infection. But COVID-19 doesn't appear to be one of them.
