Summary

Human coronaviruses such as Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) coronavirus, Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) coronavirus or endemic human coronaviruses (HCoV) can persist on inanimate surfaces for up to 9 days, but can be efficiently inactivated by surface disinfection procedures with biocidal agents used for chemical disinfection.
