Have a question. Couldn't find reasonable answer. I know, wipe thing down, wear gloves, wear a mask. use hand sanitizers, wash your hands etc. People touch many surfaces daily.i.e., shopping carts gas pumps, doors, clothes etc, etc. How long does Covid virus remain active?

Since that was published March 24, it must be from 2020.

Pretty sure there’s been a few updates since then.

5 seconds, just like anything dropped on the floor.

It’s called the 5 second rule, been around a long time.

According to Lysol, not long if you use their products.

My sister in law would say “days or weeks on end”.

But then my sister in law has left her house only about 12 times since the pandemic started.

There are updates and about-faces about everything CV related. But either they discovered it on a surface after 17 days or they didn’t. Either it is transmitted via aerosol, or it isn’t. Masks either work, or they don’t. Vaccines work, or maybe they need boosterification.

You are talking about fomite transmission.

The article below says 28 days.

The virus is going to get around. It does not matter how long it stays on the surface. 30 minutes. 3 hours. 3 days. 3 weeks.

Don’t ask Dr. Falsie; he’ll give you a different answer every time.

It is variable due to Temperature, Humidity, and the surface.

Thanks for your post. What about money $1.00, $5.00 $10.00
$20,00 #50.00 #100.00 bills Oh, I think the $2.00 would be fairly safe.

Good grief, stop!!

Wash your hands. Don’t touch your face. If you touch a public surface... don’t touch your face before washing your hands.

Spouse sees many patients every day and all is well.

I don’t wear a mask, no gloves for gas pumps, etc. I put baby wipes in a plastic bag with alcohol in my car and wipe my hands. Drying to my hands, but kills everything. After the alcohol wipes, lotion.

Relax.
