Photo / fileA study by UK scientists has revealed Covid-19 can survive on fabrics for up to three days, and a Kiwi microbiologist says it provides good intel to how the virus works. The study added droplets to the fabrics and the scientists then monitored its stability on each material for 72 hours. Microbiologist Dr Siouxsie Wiles says the study is interesting but doesn't say if the virus is still transmissible or not. "Cleaning is an important measure that reduces the risk of exposure to many infections, including the virus that causes Covid-19."
