How has covid effected braille? What an odd question. It hasn’t maybe more people stay inside and read it more. Hahahahahahahahahahha!

How do you think it’s affecting Braille, exactly? Genuinely confused here. The only thing I can potentially think of is that it may be harder in schools to get Paper Braille materials to students, but most students who use Braille are using Refreshable Braille Displays anyways.

I was thinking that braille surfaces may be a hotspot for catching covid

No more than any other surfaces you might encounter—it’s no more dangerous than picking up a grocery item, for example. COVID is spread through respiratory droplets anyways — it doesn’t spread particularly easily through skin contact (unless you’re being stupid and putting your hands all over your face w/o washing your hands).
I also think you overestimate how much Braille Signs and such actually get used. I honestly don’t think I’ve needed to be anywhere where I need to check the Braille Signs since the pandemic began—I haven’t needed to find any strange rooms or been in any elevators or anything.

Most braille productions are on 'paper' thats water proof and therefore easily disinfected.
Least the publications ive come in contact with.

COVID-19 lasts for up to 96 hours on standard braille paper.

It hasn't anymore than anything else I would think, go out if you need to, feel the braille signs, get home and wash your hands as anyone would. As for books and stuff well I personally don't read braille much anymore, thanks to computers lol. But can just read at home like normal if you so desire. You good.
