Covid-19 Virus ‘Survives for 28 Days’ On Mobile Phone Screens

12th October 2020

As stated in a recent article published by BBC (UK), the Australian agency CSIRO found the COVID-19 virus is "extremely robust," and can survive for 28 days on smooth surfaces such as glass found on mobile phone screens and both plastic and paper banknotes, when kept at 20C (68F), which is about room temperature, and in the dark. The flu virus can also survive in the same circumstances for 17 days. So what does this mean? These results emphasise the need to wash your hands regularly as well as sanitise your touchscreens regularly.
