Study Reveals Coronavirus Stays Active on Smooth Surfaces For Over 28 Days

The coronavirus can stay active on smooth surfaces such as glass, bank notes, phone screens for over 28 days, according to a study by Australian Centre for Disease Preparedness. The study revealed that this period could reduce to less than a day at high temperatures, over 40 degree Celsius. Reportedly, the virus is active on smooth surfaces for a longer period, when compared to complex surfaces such as cotton.
