Coronavirus
Is there any proof which shows that coronavirus is present on surfaces like floor,table, cloths, water bottle,paper or other accessories?
Or someone can only be affected when he comes in contact with the person who is already tested positive?
Is it necessary to disinfect every items which we use regularly like mobile,books?
Plus there is no way to disinfect newspaper and other documents?
Please put your views on this.

In lab findings it has been found out that the virus can survive on certain surfaces for specific time but there is no concrete data that people have been effected by newspapers and other things.it does not change the fact that we have to be cautious and it is always better not to touch things unnecessary at high risk places like hospitals,work places and other congested places.it is better to sanitize frequently touched surfaces at these high risk places.along with these measures it is best to follow social distancing and avoid physical contact as much as possible like shaking hands,hugging etc.
