How long does the virus stay active on surfaces?

UK medical specialists have issued this statement
It varies a lot on the type of surface. On hard surfaces - like door handles, lift buttons, kitchen worktops, it is probably around 48 hours, although some previous research on coronaviruses has found they can survive for perhaps a week in the right conditions.

On soft surfaces like clothes it will survive far less long, so if you have a coat that has virus on and you don’t wear it for a day or two the virus shouldn’t be active any more.

Remember, simply touching an infected surface will not give you Covid-19.

You have to then pass the virus to your mouth, nose or eyes so that’s why we need to stop touching our faces when out and about.
