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.

Modeling the transmission of COVID-19 in the US – A case study

TL;DR: In this paper, a mathematical model was proposed to investigate the transmission dynamics of COVID-19 in a case study for Hamilton County, the fourth-most populous county in the state of Tennessee and a region that could represent the typical situation in the United States.

Use of Weather Variables in SARS-CoV-2 Transmission Studies.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide information that may help explain some of the differing results of studies regarding the influence of environmental variables on transmissibility of SARS-CoV-2.

Histopathology laboratory paperwork as a potential risk of COVID-19 transmission among laboratory personnel

TL;DR: The potential of paper-based request forms to transmit COVID-19 to laboratory staff to make recommendations for dealing with hospital paperwork in a post CO VID-19 world is evaluated and more studies are required to detect stability of the SARS-COV-2 on the different surfaces.

A Net Benefit Approach for the Optimal Allocation of a COVID-19 Vaccine

TL;DR: It is shown that optimal vaccine allocation will depend on the public health policies, and human behaviours in place at the time of allocation, and the outcomes of vaccine allocation policies can be greatly supported with interventions targeting contact reduction in critical sub-populations.

SARS and MERS: recent insights into emerging coronaviruses

TL;DR: The emergence of Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) in 2012 marked the second introduction of a highly pathogenic coronav virus into the human population in the twenty-first century, and the current state of development of measures to combat emerging coronaviruses is discussed.

Coronavirus Disease 2019–COVID-19

TL;DR: Analysis of epidemiological, diagnostic, clinical, and therapeutic aspects, including perspectives of vaccines and preventive measures that have already been globally recommended to counter this pandemic virus, suggest that this novel virus has been transferred from an animal source, such as bats.
Journal ArticleDOI

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effects of Air Temperature and Relative Humidity on Coronavirus Survival on Surfaces

TL;DR: TGEV and MHV could serve as conservative surrogates for modeling exposure, the risk of transmission, and control measures for pathogenic enveloped viruses, such as SARS-CoV and influenza virus, on health care surfaces.
