If someone sweats on a surface and then you later touch that surface and then your face, you’re probably a goner.
We know so little about the virus, especially its survival outside of the body. I wonder if good old Lysol would kill the virus, since it is sold as a general disinfectant. Bleach kills it; as long as surfaces are disinfected frequently with bleach, there won't be any virus to be exposed to.
This is such a terrible virus. It is hard to even study it, since it requires such strict precautions.
The reason HIV doesn't transmit well in fomites is because the viral burden in the body is so low. It transmits in a similar manner as Ebola, but its infectivity is so much lower that fomite transmission just doesn't seem to happen.

"Ebola virus is susceptible to sodium hypochlorite, lipid solvents, phenolic disinfectants, peracetic acid, methyl alcohol, ether, sodium deoxycholate, 2% glutaraldehyde, 0.25% Triton X-100, β-propiolactone, 3% acetic acid (pH 2.5), formaldehyde and paraformaldehyde, and detergents such as SDS"
So yes, lysol would do the trick. The question is how concentrated would it need to be?
The problem becomes the handrails in public transportation, the ATM machines, grocery store buggy handles, and the apple fondled by someone in the store 5m before you. How many times could you reasonably disinfect these between users during rush hour?
Electronics would be trickier to disinfect probably.
And I wonder if it's susceptible to iodine since it's susceptible to chlorine. If regular old povidone did the trick that would be something found in hospitals for use on humans already.
