Coronavirus can survive on surfaces for up to 3 days
Coronavirus can stay in the environment and can live on surfaces for up to 72 hours, head of Russia’s consumer watchdog Anna Popova told a briefing in the Russian Government House on Tuesday.
"Today, it has been shown and additionally proven that the virus is rather resistant in the environment. It stays on surfaces for up to 72 hours. Therefore, another demand set out in the new [anti-coronavirus] recommendation is to ramp up disinfection measures," she noted.
