Dear Rasha Majid Abd Ulameer Alhumairi, the answer is yes, but for how long with respect to the nature of the surface is still a matter of debate and contreversy. My Regards

Thank you so much for answers dear sir Abdelkader BOUAZIZ

Thank you so much dear lady Noor Mahdi

Yes it can survive on surfaces. However, environmental temperature may play a role on how long it survives on surfaces.

Thank you so much sir Dr Abubakar Abubakar Panti

Dear, Dr. Rasha...

Yes, coronavirus can survive on the surfaces, but for limited period.

Thank you so much for all RG members

I think I discussed your query in my article to this link,

Article “Building Services Design to Prevent the Spread of COVID19”

Yes, coronavirus can survive on a surface, the duration of which depends on the nature of the surface, as Muhammed Ashraful Alam so well illustrated.

Yes, but it is uncertain how long the virus that causes COVID-19 survives on surfaces. A recent review of the survival of human coronaviruses on surfaces found large variability, ranging from 2 hours to 9 days.

The survival time depends on a number of factors, including the type of surface, temperature, relative humidity and specific strain of the virus.

Yes

I thought that coronavirus survives in every position and at different conditions and can attack anyone child, young, and adults. God bless you all

Can the coronavirus survive on surfaces?

It is not certain how long the virus that causes COVID-19 survives on surfaces, but it seems likely to behave like other coronaviruses. A recent review of the survival of human coronaviruses on surfaces found large variability, ranging from 2 hours to 9 days (11).

The survival time depends on a number of factors, including the type of surface, temperature, relative humidity and specific strain of the virus.

Yes, corona virus has fomite borne transmission as well. Thereby, it can survive in surfaces. But the duration and medium of survival needs futher research. Infact, last week France reported corona viruses surviving in sewage as well.

Hi, Dr. Rasha Majid,,,

It can survives on the surfaces from few hours to nine days according to surface types and environmental conditions.

I hope you have a healthy life free from corona virus.

With regards...

Yes, it can survive on surfaces up to week

Hi;

Twelve hours on metal surfaces, six hours on clothes, nine days on wood... The survival time of Covid-19 on inert surfaces and objects raises many questions about social networks. "On metal surfaces, it survives 12 hours. The Covid 19 is very well adapted to plastic surfaces and stainless steel: the pathogen survived up to three days on these surfaces. Worryingly, both types of materials are ubiquitous, especially in the hospital environment. On copper, which is found in coins, for example, the virus survives for a shorter period of time, just four hours. On cardboard, such as that used for packages and parcels, the coronavirus lasted twenty-four hours, and in the form of droplets in the ambient air? More than three hours, virologists measured.

With my best regards

Thank you so much sir Dr Doufnoune RACHIDA Rachida

Hi;

While these numbers seem alarming, it has not yet been proven that contamination can be made through objects because "it is difficult to distinguish how a sick person has been contaminated". Moreover, contamination through materials would "potentially represent a very small part of the transmission". Indeed, contact between individuals a priori generates the majority of coronavirus transmissions.

In reality, what is important is the viral load - the dose of virus present at a certain location. "The dose of virus you are exposed to affects not only the likelihood of being infected but also the severity of the infection". Severe cases of the disease would be those who have been exposed to large amounts of virus.

"Care must therefore be taken not to generate too many droplets by coughing, for example, and to avoid contaminating or being contaminated by surrounding surfaces". Wearing a mask (over the nose and mouth) and gloves is very useful in certain circumstances. But do not forget that ventilating homes and disinfecting potentially contaminated surfaces are small, useful gestures that are accessible to all!

With my best regards

The virus can live for 72 hours, after putting it on plastic and stainless steel. Corona virus can remain on copper for 4 hours, and about 24 hours after it is placed on the carton In the air, the virus remained alive for three hours On rigid surfaces, including metal, glass, or plastic surfaces, for up to 9 days, if the surface has not been sanitized.

... these droplets can land on objects and surfaces around the person such as tables, doorknobs and handrails. People can become infected by touching these objects or surfaces, then touching their eyes, nose or mouth. This is why it is important to wash your hands regularly with soap and water or clean with alcohol-based hand rub.

As it survived in Baghdad climate, I guess it can survive on the surface of the sun.

Covid19 is a major dilemma and creates huge controversy.

Depending on the material, the coronavirus can last on surfaces like countertops and doorknobs anywhere from several hours to days.

It can survive for a certain amount of time on surfaces but can be easily removed with a disinfectant.

thank you so much dear sir Dr Chuck A Arize

yes for 3-4 day

Thank you so much dear sir Dr Hassan Izzeddin Sarsak

Thank you so much dear Dr Maysoon Al-Hadraawy

Yes i think for few days as per WHO

Thank you so much dear sir Dr Ahmad Tasnim Siddiqui

The most important thing to know about coronavirus on surfaces is that they can easily be cleaned with common household disinfectants that will kill the virus. Studies have shown that the COVID-19 virus can survive for up to 72 hours on plastic and stainless steel, less than 4 hours on copper and less than 24 hours on cardboard.

Thank you so much dear Dr Raya Al-Naimi for all answers

Thank you so much for all RG members

Many thanks to all the friends and professors for all the helpful discussions and valuable answers

There are evidences to believe that Novel Coronavirus can survive on the surfaces of inanimate objects, such as stainless, cardboard, plastic, copper etc. for a short time.Therefore, it is advised that these inanimate objects must be properly disinfected to check the spread of virus.
