Corona virus survives on surfaces for days ,also in faeces and urine .
Wash your hands often/hand sanitizer and what is not emphasized in the media enough ,DO NOT TOUCH YOUR FACE,NOSE,MOUTH AND EYES .

Point of interest ,measles can float around in air for 7 days ,BUT we have a vaccine ,so what .

Coronavirus does survive for different periods -

Here is a study I read yesterday : https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.105...=featured_home

Aerosol and Surface Stability of SARS-CoV-2 as Compared with SARS-CoV-1


SARS-CoV-2 was more stable on plastic and stainless steel than on copper and cardboard, and viable virus was detected up to 72 hours after application to these surfaces.

On copper, no viable SARS-CoV-2 was measured after 4 hours and no viable SARS-CoV-1 was measured after 8 hours.

On cardboard, no viable SARS-CoV-2 was measured after 24 hours and no viable SARS-CoV-1 was measured after 8 hours.

In my opinion, when you state information publicly (and it isn’t supported with an accompanying citation to a study) then you should post the link publicly. Just my respectfully submitted 2¢
