COMMUTERS WARNING

Coronavirus can live on door handles and bus or train poles for up to nine days — more than four times longer than flu, according to new research.

It’s much hardier than common bugs – shedding fresh light on its rapid spread, say German scientists.Surfaces that are frequently touched are most likely to be harbouring the highly contagious disease — especially in hospitals or crowded Tube stations.

But the potentially deadly droplets can be destroyed within a minute simply through regular wiping with disinfectants such as Domestos (a bleach spray).

Corresponding author Professor Gunter Kampf said: “In hospitals these can be door handles, for example, but also call buttons, bedside tables, bed frames and other objects in the direct vicinity of patients, which are often made of metal or plastic.”
