The unknown factor is, to what extent? And how long can those surfaces transmit the virus? That would affect the risk in secondary exposure to you, your workers, and subsequent guests.
5 minutes, days or weeks is of little consequence when we are referring to railings at airports or busy buildings. I was just at Longs in Pahoa and I held something right after the Pharmacist was holding it, her assistant also exchanged items in hand with me, the cashier at the front, a guy took my cart right after me, and an old friend just had to hug me. I picked up the "pen" at the credit card machine to click away and sign right after the person in front of me in line did the same. Gas station picked up the handle.....I can go on and on from a short errand trip to Pahoa. All it takes is one guy who sat next to someone who knows someone who visits China coming to explore Pahoa town as you've got an outbreak.
