A recent study revealed that the Coruna virus can stay in the air for up to 3 hours and live on rooftops for about 3 days.
According to “Fox News” news, the recent study, published on the scientific “medRxiv” site, sheds light on how long the Corona virus can survive and pass on to people.
According to the research paper, “Covid-19 may remain in the air for 3 hours and lives on surfaces such as plastic and stainless steel for a period of two to 3 days,” according to Sky News Arabia.
He added: “It can also stay on copper surfaces for four hours, and on cardboard for up to 24 hours.”
Another study, published last February, said that “if corona is similar to other coronaviruses, such as SARS, it may live on surfaces for up to 9 days.”
“On the other hand, the influenza virus can live on rooftops only, for a period of approximately 48 hours.”
Scientists are still focused on the study “Covid-19”, which spread in most countries of the world and left a large toll of deaths and injuries.
So far, no treatment has been found for the Corona virus, which is believed to have started to spread within a seafood market in central China’s Wuhan late last year.
