The SARS-CoV-2 is presumed to be transmitted by respiratory droplets, viral aerosols, close contacts, and self-inoculation to nose, mouth, or eyes after touching a contaminated surface [16] . We therefore reviewed the persistence and infectivity of viruses on inanimate surfaces to provide clear information for containing the epidemic of SARS-CoV-2. One COVID-19 patient had upper respiratory tract infection with no pneumonia or diarrhea, and his two stool samples were positive for SARS-CoV-2 on RT-PCR. Persistence of most bacteria, fungi, and viruses (e.g., SARS-CoV) on surfaces depends on environmental conditions [37] , such as air temperature and RH [39] , inoculums, and the materials that they stayed on.
