Here, we provide a report of our study of the stability of SARS-CoV-2 on various environmental surfaces and in human excreta (feces and urine). SARS-CoV-2 was more stable in urine than in feces, and infectious virus was detected up to 3 days in two adult urine and 4 days in one child urine. Prior to our study, two research teams had just reported the stability of SARS-CoV-2 on different material surfaces [4, 5] . In comparison with the above two studies, our data displayed a prolonged survival time of this virus on environmental surfaces. In Chin's study, a five microliters of virus stock with the infectious titer of 10 6.8 TCID 50 /ml was deposited on the surface.	./cache/cord-034481-zi9q96lj.txt	./txt/cord-034481-zi9q96lj.txt
