Persistence of coronaviruses on inanimate surfaces and their inactivation with biocidal agents.
TL;DR: Human coronaviruses can persist on inanimate surfaces like metal, glass or plastic for up to 9 days, but can be efficiently inactivated by surface disinfection procedures with 62–71% ethanol, 0.5% hydrogen peroxide or 0.1% sodium hypochlorite within 1 minute.

Transmission characteristics of MERS and SARS in the healthcare setting: a comparative study
Gerardo Chowell,Gerardo Chowell,Fatima Abdirizak,Sunmi Lee,Jonggul Lee,Eunok Jung,Hiroshi Nishiura,Cécile Viboud +7 more
TL;DR: This study suggests that the South Korean outbreak followed a similar progression to previously described hospital clusters involving coronaviruses, with early super-spreading events generating a disproportionately large number of secondary infections, and the transmission potential diminishing greatly in subsequent generations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Estimating the burden of United States workers exposed to infection or disease: A key factor in containing risk of COVID-19 infection.
TL;DR: The large number of persons employed in occupations with frequent exposure to infection and disease underscore the importance of all workplaces developing risk response plans for COVID-19, and serve as an important reminder that the workplace is a key locus for public health interventions, which could protect both workers and the communities they serve.
Journal ArticleDOI
Conceptual model for assessment of dermal exposure
TL;DR: A consistent terminology based on a multicompartment model for assessment of dermal exposure is proposed that describes the transport of contaminant mass from the source of the hazardous substance to the surface of the skin.
