Although the persistence of Φ6 on fomites has been characterized, limited data are available regarding the transfer of Φ6 among skin and fomites. Determining Φ6 transfer rates for surfaces in consumer-facing environments based on these factors is needed to better inform future virus transmission mitigation strategies.
