According to WHO, there is no confirmed timeline how long a COVID-19 virus survives

in surfaces. However, most likely it behaves like other coronaviruses. Studies show that
coronaviruses can survive on surfaces for a few hours up to several days depending on
varied conditions (e.g. type of surface, temperature or humidity of the environment).

If you suspect that a surface is infected, clean it with disinfectant; clean your hands with
alcohol-based hand sanitizer or wash them with soap and water; and if possible,
minimize touching your eyes, mouth or nose.
