Better (and based on the text): Few SARS-Cov-2 transmissions reported to have been via surface transmission.
And note: However, it is not clear what proportion of SARS-CoV-2 infections are acquired through surface transmission. Probably not many.

According to the article, that's probably risky if all of those thousands of surfaces are infected.
But you make a good point: I have no idea how many infected surfaces I touched last week/month/year.
“SARS-CoV-2 and Surface (Fomite) Transmission for Indoor Community Environments”
I haven't seen a single case of reported surface transmission.
There was this case in a New Zealand quarantine hotel, where they first suspected a rubbish bin lid, which the persons had touched 20 hours apart. But now they think it was air moving, by opening the hotel room door from the room to the corridor, and then to the next room, when that door was opened right after.

Note the paper suggest the real rate could be lower. For instance, a 10^-5 risk per contact would mean <0.4% risk for 365 contacts.
