Here's How Long COVID Can Survive On Smartphone Screens

Researchers in Australia say the novel coronavirus can survive for nearly a month on some surfaces - including smartphones.

The virus remained infectious for up to 28 days on smooth surfaces like glass, stainless steel, or plastic - which includes smartphone screens and credit cards. By comparison, the Influenza A virus survives only 17 days.

Scientists say it reinforces the importance of hadwashing and disinfecting to stop the spread of COVID-19.
