Not an issue mate
A qwik look at amy medical site (refer dr google) clearly states that a virus can only survive outside a host for around 45 minutes, and this particular one - like influenza - is transmitted via air-borne droplets and sneezes
Whatever you unbox today could have been made up to 18 months ago ... and today's manufactured items will be unboxed in ??? months time
It is different for low-value consumables whereby a constant turnover occurs

Here's how long coronaviruses may linger on contaminated surfaces, according to science
looks like potentially 5 minutes to nine days... They don't actually know. But +1 to Ozzie_Traveller. They were packaged and such months ago and had to go through customs, etc.
"human coronaviruses 'can be efficiently inactivated by surface disinfection procedures with 62-71% ethanol, 0.5% hydrogen peroxide or
0.1% sodium hypochlorite' or bleach within one minute."
I suggest reading the article. I think it's important to note the death rate of this virus is that of the common Flu.
