Not if sanitized: Coronavirus can be removed from any surface by cleaning, and killed by sanitizing. Cleaning involves a soap or surfactant that lifts up dirt, germs, viruses and washes them away. Sanitizers contain chemicals that actively kill germs and viruses. The best way to get rid of germs and viruses is to use both methods. Clean a surface, then apply a sanitizing agent and let dry.
