Sampled surfaces (n) RT Table: Frequency of detection of SARS-CoV-2 on inanimate surfaces sampled for RNA and infectious virus; *6 of 7 samples obtained in the surrounding of one patient with persistent cough and frequent sputum spitting during sampling (corresponding ct-values E gene between 28.9 and 33.9, corresponding ct-values RdRp gene between 28.9 and 35.0)

A Medline search was done on October 06, 2020 using the terms "SARS-CoV-2", "contamination" and "surface" resulting in 136 hits. All studies were screened for original data of surface contamination with SARS-CoV-2 (RNA and infectious virus). No language restrictions were applied.

Data were extracted from studies that described the presence of SARS-CoV-2, both RNA and infectious virus, on surfaces.
