How long does Coronavirus (COVID-19) live on different types of surfaces?

The World Health Organization or WHO is still not 100% clear about this. Some studies with related viruses to show that the time a virus lives on surfaces depends on several factors like temperature, humidity, and surface type.

To start, it seems food and water are coronavirus-free, which is awesome news. We have done a good job in this part.

Most likely, coronavirus lives on glass, ceramics, and metal surfaces like doorknobs up to five days. Wood furniture and other wooden surfaces hold the virus alive up to 4 days. Stainless steel like refrigerators, stoves, and other appliances hold the virus up to 3 days. Finally, plastic which we have tons around the home holds the virus for up to 3 days as well.

Cardboard does not hold on to the virus as much, it can live on cardboard for up to 24 hours. Aluminum holds the virus up to 5 days…this depends on several factors.
