Statistically unlikely yes, however so is your contention someone could have it on their hand while testing negative THEN touch their face and catch it.
The "then" is just an example. It doesn't exclude the possibility of picking up the virus minutes, hours, or days later.
Eg Prince Charles could've theoretically been tested daily, but the period of time between those tests and getting the results would allow the possibility of picking up the virus and transmitting it to others.
