Stability of SARS‐CoV‐2 and other coronaviruses in the environment and on common touch surfaces and the influence of climatic conditions: A review 2020-07-14 .txt text/plain 6425 341 54 In another study, aerosolized SARS-CoV-2 retained its infectivity for a period of 16h at room temperature and the authors concluded that the virus can be considered as an airborne pathogen (Fears et al., 2020 and was infectious after 72 hr of aerosolization (Ijaz, Brunner, Sattar, Nair, & Johnson-Lussenburg, 1985) . In the first study, SARS-CoV-2 retained its infectivity for 4 days but was completely decayed after 7 days on plastic surface at room temperature and 65% RH (Chin et al., 2020) . Although this study reported longer virus survival, it has been shown that the survivability of SARS-CoV-1 on plastic surface is drastically affected by increases in temperature and RH as described below. In another study, a this virus with a higher initial load (5.5 log TCID 50 ) retained its infectivity for 4 days and was completely inactivated after 7 days on stainless steel at room temperature and RH of 65% (Chin et al., 2020) . ./cache/cord-284398-rhfwbyav.txt ./txt/cord-284398-rhfwbyav.txt
