The latest is that common areas (counters, tables, etc) can support the virus for 5 days. Touching these items spread the virus. This is why they are closing areas a lot of people visit. Schools, restaurants, bars, etc.

Practice social distancing and do not touch anything!

Don’t know if this applies to corono or not, but it is well known that many HIV patients carried high viral load, but were not contagious. It turned out that approaching 99% of all virus shed was often incapable of infecting other cells in many patients.

While there are some indications that the virus “can survive” on some surfaces, there is no evidence that it can be spread from those surfaces for more than a couple of hours at most.

And a simple wipe with disinfectant solves that problem. Gyms are doing this, at least they were until they were closed.
