How long can it live on a piece of mail?Not sure we know.
Yep. And I’m worried about all of the imported goods.
No, they haven’t said yet. Though according to what I’ve read, SARS could live on an object for 2 hrs to 2 days.
Most viruses can last 24 hours or more on a hard surface.
On clothing was something like 2 to 3 hours.
A tissue paper (Kleenix) was 15 minutes.
On skin it only lasts 5 minutes until our enzymes break it down. (So keep your hands away from your face!)
I would guess that on a piece of paper mail would be similar to clothing - maybe a bit longer?
Freezing doesn’t do anything to a virus. Disinfectant, bleach, etc.
