Estimated Natural Decay of SARS-CoV-2 (Virus that Causes COVID-19) on Surfaces Under a Range of Temperatures and Relative Humidity

Source: U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS). Published: 5/13/2020. This predictive modeling tool estimates natural decay of SARS-CoV-2 (the virus that causes COVID-19) under a range of temperatures and relative humidity. Leveraging the results of research being conducted at the National Biodefense Analysis and Countermeasures Center (NBACC), the tool is designed to assist response efforts and estimate the environmental persistence of the virus under certain combinations of temperatures and humidity.
