Fomite-based transmission was the hypothesis after observing infection patterns aboard cruise ships, iirc.  I see no reason to doubt that fomites can be the method of transmission based on those observations, unfortunately.  

The case of the isolated/distanced woman contracting the virus from her grocery deliverer is worrisome as people have been echoing the theory that outdoor air circulates and dilutes aerosol risk down to negligible amounts (and that sunlight kills the virus, yay /s).  I have refrained from jumping into that fray.

Anyway, although patients are generally poor historians, examples like this serve to remind everyone to be vigilant about who is near you and who may be asymptomatically contagious.
