A member asked:
I brought a metal product some 8 days back . i am not sure if i sanitised it. today i touched it and accidently touched my nose at the same time . i immediately washed my face. but will it work ? or covid danger ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See below: It is generally thought that the virus can live on metal for about five days -so it is unlikely that after eight days, there would be virus alive - in the future , probably a good idea to wash items when you bring them home - but the virus is primarily spread through person to person contact- via infected particles from talking etc. - so wear mask, keep safe distance, wash hands- Good luck
