Surface transmission is what's supposed to be 'while possible, it's not too likely', and respiratory droplets are supposed to be the main way it spreads (with recently 239 scientists begging WHO to acknowledge it can be spread through the air also, not just the larger droplets, which fall to the ground a lot faster).
Here's what CDC says: "The primary and most important mode of transmission for COVID-19 is through close contact from person-to-person. Based on data from lab studies on COVID-19 and what we know about similar respiratory diseases, it may be possible that a person can get COVID-19 by touching a surface or object that has the virus on it and then touching their own mouth, nose, or possibly their eyes, but this isn’t thought to be the main way the virus spreads."
