According to a German virologist that was interviewed a few days ago they extensively took samples from houses of highly infectious people and couldn't get any of it to grow in vivo. Are there any cases were we know of surface transmission?

Because from what I have read that is extremely unlikely.

WHO, NIH, CDC (google for citations) are stating surface transmission is possible. I have no reason or authority to state otherwise.

People tend to err on the safe side. I just wash/sanitize hands after handling objects of unknown safety; other people sanitize everything even though there is no possible vector... let's not judge too hastily.
