The advice I heard was that it's possible, but much shorter than on hard surfaces (maybe a couple of hours), and not to worry about it too much and just continue to wash your hands after receiving post.

Of course, no one really knows for sure, and if you're particularly vulnerable it may still be worth taking additional steps.
