Regarding Rabies
Hi Sir/mam,
How much time do rabies virus live outside? Do it get infected like Corona Virus from touching the surfaces? Or only nail/dog bite causes it?

Rabies virus can not survive outside the dog or human being . So it can't spread by air or by touching an object (if you don't have any injury on skin).
You have to be careful if you have a dog at home. First thing is that the dog should be vaccinated against Rabies.
