Abstract
We report the stability of SARS-CoV-2 on various surfaces under indoor, summer and spring/fall conditions. The virus was more stable under the spring/fall condition with virus half-lives ranging from 17.11 to 31.82 hours, whereas under indoor and summer conditions the virus half-lives were 3.5–11.33 and 2.54–5.58 hours, respectively.
