How Long Can Pathogens Survive on Different Surfaces?
The survival time of pathogens on surfaces can vary greatly depending on the type of surface and environmental conditions such as temperature and humidity. For example: - Influenza viruses can survive on non-porous surfaces for 24-48 hours. - Coronaviruses can persist on glass, metal, and plastic for up to 72 hours. - Norovirus can remain infectious on surfaces for weeks.
