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.

A SARS-CoV-2 cytopathicity dataset generated by high-content screening of a large drug repurposing collection.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors applied high-content screening to a well-defined collection of 5632 compounds including 3488 that have undergone previous clinical investigations across 600 indications, for their ability to inhibit SARS-CoV-2 cytopathicity in Caco-2.

Multisociety guideline on reprocessing flexible GI endoscopes and accessories.

TL;DR: Gastrointestinal (GI) endoscopy is highly effective for the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of many digestive under-reporting or non-recognition, but concerns have been raised that many of these infectious risks to patients may be underestimated.

COVID-19 infection risk from exposure to aerosols of wastewater treatment plants.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyzed the presence of viral RNA of SARS-CoV-2 in raw wastewater and air samples of WWTPs and estimated the risk that may arise from exposure to virus-contaminated aerosols of wastewater was estimated by developing a quantitative microbial risk analysis method.

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.

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.

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.
