How long coronavirus can live ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Covid-19: The virus has varied calculated "lifespans" depending on the surface on which it is deposited. Hard surfaces are easily disinfected, with a variety of substances, but fabrics like clothing may harbor the active virus for days in some instances. It is best to disinfect all surfaces and clothing which may have been exposed with standard agents or soap and water to diminish viral activity.
