SARS-CoV-2 viability under different meteorological conditions, surfaces, fluids and transmission between animals


ABSTRACT: Since the COVID-19 outbreak, researchers have tried to characterise the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 to better understand the pathogenic mechanisms of the virus and prevent further dissemination. As a consequence, there has been a bloom in scientific research papers focused on the behaviour of the virus in different environmental contexts. Nevertheless, despite these efforts and due to its novelty, available information about this coronavirus is limited, as several research studies are still ongoing. This review aims to shed light on this issue. To that end, we have examined the scientific literature to date regarding the viability of SARS-CoV-2 on surfaces and fluids or under different environmental conditions (temperature, precipitation and UV radiation). We have also addressed the role of animals in the transmission of this coronavirus. Graphical abstract Image 1 Highlights • Data overview on practical information about SARS-CoV-2-survival on different surfaces.• SARS-CoV-2 is not affected with temperatures as seasonal coronaviruses.• UV radiation may inactivate SARS-CoV-2 after 1 h of index of 10.• Pet animals such as cat, dogs, and ferrets are susceptible to infection.
