Coronavirus can survive on common materials for hours or even days. Here's what you need to know and how to protect yourself.Tiny, infected water droplets that drift in the air or land on surfaces have multiplied into a global pandemic.
The report also noted the half-life, or rate of decay, of the virus on various materials. That's the time it took for half of the virus sample to die. In all settings, viruses need water to survive. "Viruses can withstand a small amount of dehydration," says Dr. Paul Meechan, a former director of safety at the CDC and president of the American Biological Safety Association.
A droplet’s size determines where it goes after being expelled. Gravity forces larger ones to the ground. A virus that doesn't reach the ground or floor can fall on shared surfaces – or be transferred there by those with the pathogen on their hands. Whatever the case, unsuspecting people can pick it up. How long a virus lives depends on the surface it's on: The coronavirus can exist on stainless steel objects for two to three days.
