I thought a fair amount of the contact work was done by robots, at least for the inner packaged items.

The virus apparently doesn't do great on cardboard; you've got a day or so of transit time for it to wear down...

Amazon has sponsored a picking challenge for a few years now, but I'm not aware of this level of automation being deployed in production. The last I saw, a Kiva robot would bring a shelf of items to a human picker, who transferred an item from a bin to a box.

Assuming the guy who brought the package to your door isn't infected.
