Key Points

This research aims to compare the stability of SARS-CoV-2 and SARS-CoV-1 in different environments.
Experimental analysis of aerosol and surface stability for both viruses.
Comparison of viability over time under various conditions.
SARS-CoV-2 showed different stability patterns compared to SARS-CoV-1 on surfaces.
Viability duration was significantly longer for SARS-CoV-2 in aerosols.

Implication

Research letter reports on SARS-CoV-2 and SARS-CoV-1 stability, suggesting implications for transmission.

Abstract

Aerosol and Surface Stability of SARS-CoV-2 In this research letter, investigators report on the stability of SARS-CoV-2 and SARS-CoV-1 under experimental conditions. The viability of the two virus...
