Study finds human coronaviruses can survive on surfaces for up to 9 days

The video discusses how viruses can spread through direct contact or contaminated surfaces. It highlights a study showing that coronaviruses like SARS and MERS can survive on surfaces such as glass, plastic, and metal for up to nine days. Environmental factors like low temperature and humidity can extend the virus's lifespan. However, disinfectants such as ethanol, hydrogen peroxide, and sodium hypochloride can effectively kill these viruses within a minute.
