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.Citations

SARS-CoV-2 spread in Northern Italy: what about the pollution role?
Susanna Sciomer,Federica Moscucci,Damiano Magrì,Roberto Badagliacca,Gianfranco Piccirillo,Piergiuseppe Agostoni +5 more
TL;DR: Observing the trend of the infections in China and the geographic areas of the main outbreaks, it could be hypothesized that air pollution plays a role and if these observations were to be confirmed, when the health emergency is resolved, it will be mandatory to redesign an economic-productive model in balance with the environment.

Zoonotic and Reverse Zoonotic Transmissibility of SARS-CoV-2.
TL;DR: In this article, the authors described the known properties and the existing gaps in scientific knowledge about the zoonotic and reverse transmissibility of the novel virus SARS-CoV-2 and the COVID-19 disease it causes.

TL;DR: W wastewater-based epidemiology, and sewage surveillance may provide valuable insights into the prevalence of SARS-CoV-2 among the human population and could serve as a sensitive surveillance system and a crucial early warning tool.

External Validation of a Clinical Risk Score to Predict Hospital Admission and In-Hospital Mortality in COVID-19 Patients
Alexandra Halalau,Zaid Imam,Patrick Karabon,Nikhil P. Mankuzhy,Aciel Shaheen,John Tu,Christopher F Carpenter +6 more
TL;DR: The CO VID-19 Risk of Complications Score may help predict the need for hospital admission if a patient contracts SARS-CoV-2 infection and in-hospital mortality for a hospitalized patient with COVID-19.

Hui,Kwok-Yung Yuen +22 more
TL;DR: The findings are consistent with person-to-person transmission of this novel coronavirus in hospital and family settings, and the reports of infected travellers in other geographical regions.

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.

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.
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.
