If a dog can pick up a virus particle on its fur and transfer it to its owner by contact, can a fly pick up a virus particle on its leg and transfer it to a human by landing?

An entomologist told me that flies groom themselves frequently, and are fairly clean. According to her, the chance that they will transmit a virus is actually quite low.

Interesting. I think I’ve actually seen them grooming themselves too.
