Unless you have been trained in correct cross infection control, it’s easy to make a mistake and break the ‘chain’ – rendering the whole thing pointless.
David Policansky has got it about right.

Allow me to make a correction. A virus is not a molecule. A virus is a little packet of self-replicating DNA or RNA (genome) enclosed by a protein capsule (capsid) and usually an outer lipoprotein envelope.
Strictly speaking, outside the cell, it’s called a virion.
Simply put, inside the body, a virus in the body attaches itself to the cell membrane, penetrates the membrane, uncoats itself and replicates multiple times until the cell bursts releasing more virus to attack new cells.
Hope that helps.
