New coronavirus infection is mainly spread through respiratory droplets, where the patient carries the virus out of the body through coughing and spreads it in the air. Whether the virus survives on the surface of other objects and how long it survives are issues of concern. Some studies have found that the virus can survive for a period of time on the surface of other objects that are not the human body, and may survive for a few hours on smooth surfaces. So in daily life, we should pay attention to the disinfection treatment of the surrounding environment, such as door handles, objects, countertops and other places that are often in contact with each other, to clean and disinfection treatment.
