The Director of U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Robert Redfield, told a congressional hearing on 27 Thursday 2020 that the CDC experts are assessing how long SARS-CoV-2 (covi, in short) can survive on the surface of objects. It is currently known that the virus survives longer on paper than on copper.
He said, "Without accident, it (covi) will survive on copper and steel for about 2 hours." "But I think it will last longer on other surfaces, such as cardboard or plastic, so we will do more research on this. "
He also said that infection with COVID-19 (covid, in short) due to contact with the surface of the object may be the cause of the outbreak on Diamond Princess rather than airborne infection.
A recent study in Germany has also shown that at room temperature, covi can survive up to 9 days on the surface of inanimate objects.
According to the German Journal of Hospital Infection, German researchers are trying to find a solution to covid from SARS or MERS-like structures similar to the coronavirus in order to better understand the new coronavirus. For this purpose, scientists conducted 22 studies and found that human viral pathogens can survive on plastic surfaces for up to 9 days at room temperature.
Scientists point out that such viruses usually survive about 4 to 5 days on plastic, glass, wood or paper or aluminum after leaving the host, such as the human body, but in some cases, the virus survives longer, and these items are extremely common and touched in human daily life. This means that if the surface of a contaminated object is not disinfected in a timely manner, it will pose a great risk for others to be infected by the virus.
