Reuters reports on new research.
On stainless steel, it takes 5 hours 38 minutes for half of the virus particles to become inactive.
On plastic, the half-life is 6 hours 49 minutes, researchers found.
On cardboard, the half-life was about three and a half hours, but the researchers said there was a lot of variability in those results “so we advise caution” interpreting that number.
The shortest survival time was on copper, where half the virus became inactivated within 46 minutes.
That's ironic...considering how long scammers have tried to sell people on wearing expensive copper bracelets and copper infused clothing to "cure" arthritis etc.
