Recent studies have shown viable coronavirus can be detected up to three hours later in the air, up to four hours on copper, up to 24 hours on cardboard and up to two to three days on plastic and stainless steel. Cleaning of visibly dirty surfaces followed by disinfection is best practice for prevention of COVID-19 and other viral respiratory illnesses in your household and in community settings. Regular household cleaners are effective, including bleach solutions and alcohol solutions of at least 70% alcohol. The EPA provides a list of disinfectants effective against COVID-19. Depending on the length of time in the facility and the areas traversed by the confirmed COVID-19 case, consideration may be given to using a professional cleaning/disinfection service and extreme measures such as ozonation, UV disinfection, and/or ULV fogging.
Any test method to determine complete disinfection of the virus needs to be evaluated carefully. Find out how that can be done here.
