SARS-CoV-2 survives for weeks on mobile phones
Coronavirus is 'extremely robust' at room temperature, CSIRO research shows
SARS-CoV-2 can survive for up to 28 days on the glass on mobile phones, stainless steel and paper banknotes, CSIRO researchers have found.
The research, undertaken at the Australian Centre for Disease Preparedness (ACDP) in Geelong in Victoria, also found that SARS-CoV-2 survived longer at lower temperatures.
