AB We evaluated the SARS-CoV-2 viability preservation on different model surfaces over time. It was found that the SARS-CoV-2 RNA was detected on all studied surfaces for 360 minutes, while the viability of the virus was completely lost after 120 minutes. Type of experimental surface significantly affects viability preservation.Competing Interest StatementThe authors have declared no competing interest.
