TLDR
Human coronaviruses can persist on inanimate surfaces like metal, glass or plastic for up to 9 days, but can be efficiently inactivated by surface disinfection procedures with 62–71% ethanol, 0.5% hydrogen peroxide or 0.1% sodium hypochlorite within 1 minute.

The Effects of Temperature and Relative Humidity on the Viability of the SARS Coronavirus

TL;DR: The better stability of SARS coronavirus at low temperature and low humidity environment may facilitate its transmission in community in subtropical area during the spring and in air-conditioned environments, which may explain why some Asian countries in tropical area did not have major community outbreaks of Sars.
