Prolonged Infectivity of SARS-CoV-2 in Fomites
Boris Pastorino, Franck Touret, Magali Gilles, Xavier de Lamballerie, R?mi N Charrel
Abstract
We spotted severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 on polystyrene plastic, aluminum, and glass for 96 hours with and without bovine serum albumin (3 g/L). We observed a steady infectivity (<1 log[SUB]10[/SUB] drop) on plastic, a 3.5 log[SUB]10[/SUB] decrease on glass, and a 6 log[SUB]10[/SUB] drop on aluminum. The presence of proteins noticeably prolonged infectivity.
Keywords: 2019 novel coronavirus disease; COVID-19; SARS; SARS-CoV-2; coronavirus; coronavirus disease; fomites; severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2; viruses; zoonoses.
