- As a new coronavirus spreads quickly around the world, U.S. health officials say they are “aggressively” assessing how long it can survive on surfaces to better understand the risk of transmission.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says it may be possible for a person to become infected by touching a surface or object that has the virus on it and then touching their own mouth, nose or eyes. The agency said there is likely a very low risk of spread from products or packaging that are shipped over a period of days or weeks at ambient temperatures.

Good question
Chinese police with items seized from a store suspected of trafficking exotic meats in Guangde, central China, last month. Bats, which are thought to be the original source of both the current coronavirus and the SARS virus, are said to be good for restoring eyesight.
I don't know , ask China...oh wait
coronavirus
9 days. So use bleach. Saved you a click
Probably long enough for a package send from North Italy to the south. This virus can not be contained anymore. No way, and I don't mean we shouldn't keep on trying. Precious time got lost by downplaying for the stupid financial markets
I just need to hold my breath for 9 days and float in the air.
So basically you dont know. Whats the point of this article besides venturing guesses?
Until cleaned

morgfair A couple hours on metal, to NINE days on organics like cardboard and plastic? Did I read that right? I need to wash my hands more often.
“human coronaviruses can remain infectious on inanimate surfaces for up to nine days at room temperature”
Useless information. Wash your hands. Don’t touch your face. Simple. There’s no way of ever knowing if any surface even HAS coronavirus on it. Stop panicking.
this bastard can take a punch can't he?
9 days
9days iirc
