No... It is oral but can't be fecal... It goes from person/surface to person via direct contact... so is this still be oral-fecal?

Rhinovirus is a major cause
of the common cold. The primary mode of transmission is the contact of
contaminated hands, fingers, or fomites with the conjunctiva or nasal
epithelium.

Transmission & Epidemiology
There are two modes of transmission for these viruses.
In the past, it was accepted that they were transmitted
directly from person to person via aerosols of respiratory
droplets. However, now it appears that an indirect
mode, m which respiratory droplets are deposited on
the hands or on a surface such as a table and then trans-
ported by fingers to the nose or eyes, is also important.
The common cold is reputed to be the most com-
mon human infection, although data are difficult to
obtain because it is not a well-defined or notifiable dis-
ease. Millions of days of work and school are lost each
year as a result of "colds." Rhinoviruses occur world-
wide, causing disease particularly in the fall and winter.
The reason for this seasonal variation is unclear. Low
temperatures per se do not predispose to the common
cold, but the crowding that occurs at schools, for exam-
ple, may enhance transmission during fall and winter.
The frequency of colds is high in childhood and tapers
off during adulthood, presumably because of the acqui-
sition of immunity.
A few serotypes of rhinoviruses are prevalent during
one season, only to be replaced by other serotypes dur-
ing the following season. It appears that the population
builds up immunity to the prevalent serotypes but re-
mains susceptible to the others.
