Coronavirus can survive for a month on surfaces including banknotes, mobile phone screens and stainless steel according to new research.

 

Researchers at CSIRO, Australia's national science agency, have found that Covid can survive for up to 28 days on surfaces.

 

The research, undertaken at the Australian Centre for Disease Preparedness (ACDP) in Geelong, Victoria, found the virus survived better at colder temperatures.

 

It also found that the virus survived longer on smooth surfaces such as glass and stainless steel compared to surfaces like cotton according to EurekAlert.

 

Recent studies have shown that the virus is able to remain infectious in airborne particles for greater than three hours.
