WHERE CAN COVID 19 SURVIVE FOR HOW MANY DAYS ??
The COVID-19 virus can spread via direct contact, airborne transmission, or through droplets. There have also been a few reported cases potentially spread through surfaces. But the risk of this is very low. The chance of COVID-19 surface transmission is less than 1 in 10,000.
BUT CAN CORONAVIRUS LIVE IN AIR , WATER , FURNITURE , FOOD ETC ..
Different Kinds of Surfaces
It’s unlikely to catch COVID-19 from a surface, but the risk still exists. Lab studies have found that the virus may last on different materials for varying amounts of time.
HOW LONG DOES COVID 19 SURVIVE IN AIR ??
AS I SAID THERE ARE ONLY LESS THAN 1% CHANCES OF COVID 19 TO SPREAD THROUGH AIR .
Metal
Examples: doorknobs, jewelry, silverware
5-9 days
Wood
Examples: furniture, decking
4 days
Plastics
Examples: milk containers and detergent bottles, subway and bus seats, elevator buttons
2 to 3 days
Stainless steel
Examples: refrigerators, pots and pans, sinks, some water bottles
2 to 3 days
Cardboard
Examples: shipping boxes
24 hours
Copper
Examples: pennies, teakettles, cookware
4 hours
Aluminum
Examples: soda cans, tinfoil, water bottles
2 to 8 hours
Glass
Examples: drinking glasses, measuring cups, mirrors, windows
Up to 5 days
Ceramics
Examples: dishes, pottery, mugs
5 days
Paper
Examples: mail, newspaper
The length of time varies. Some strains of coronavirus live for only a few minutes on paper, while others live for up to 5 days.
HOW LONG DOES COVID 19 LAST ON FOOD ??
Examples: takeout, produce
Coronavirus doesn't seem to spread through food.
CAN CORONA VIRUS LIVE IN DRINKING WATER ?
Coronavirus hasn't been found in drinking water. If it does get into the water supply, your local water treatment plant filters and disinfects the water, which should kill any germs.
HOW LONG DOES CORONAVIRUS LIVE ON FABRICS OR CLOTHES ??
Examples: clothes, linens
There’s not much research about how long the virus lives on fabric, but it’s probably not as long as on hard surfaces.
Shoes
One study tested the shoe soles of medical staff in a Chinese hospital intensive care unit (ICU) and found that half were positive for nucleic acids from the virus. But it’s not clear whether these pieces of the virus cause infection. The hospital’s general ward, which had people with milder cases, was less contaminated than the ICU.
Skin and hair
There’s no research on exactly how long the virus can live on your skin or hair. Rhinoviruses, which cause colds, survive for hours. That’s why it’s important to wash or disinfect your hands, which are most likely to come into contact with contaminated surfaces.
