Coronavirus: The SCARY announcement that put the world on ALERT

Coronavirus resistance

Coronavirus unfortunately, there is an extremely worrying announcement at the moment, and this is because, following detailed analyses, the first estimates regarding the resistance of the virus on various surfaces have also begun to appear.

Coronavirus, according to experts, could have a resistance of up to 9 days on various objects with which it comes into contact, the period being estimated based on the analyzes made for the SARS virus, a few years ago, and this worried a lot of people.

Coronavirus it could last on various surfaces between 5 minutes and 9 days, and this raises many question marks regarding the shipments of objects brought from China, because some can be brought infected to various countries in the region, and not only that.

Coronavirus it could be transported all over the world during the 9 days of resistance, without the people transporting it knowing what is happening, but researchers do not know for sure how high or low its resistance is, as it is affected by environmental conditions different from SARS.

"Based on the currently available data, I would rely primarily on the data from the SARS coronavirus, which is the closest relative to the novel coronavirus - with 80% sequence similarity - among the tested coronaviruses. For the SARS coronavirus, the persistence range on surfaces was as short as five minutes to nine days."

Coronavirus has so far revealed the fact that the main method of infection is contact with a sick person, if she coughs or sneezes, but if the resistance reaches up to 9 days on various surfaces, then things become much more serious.

Coronavirus forced the central bank of China to withdraw from circulation banknotes worth tens of billions of dollars for disinfection, and a quarantine period of 14 days, a sign that the authorities take seriously the ability of the virus to last 9 days on surfaces.
