Viruses similar to the strain that causes Covid-19 can survive on clothing and transmit to other surfaces for up to three days, scientists at De Montfort University Leicester (DMU) have warned in a new report. For the study, scientists tested a model coronavirus on polyester, polycotton and 100% cotton (commonly used in the healthcare industry) and found that traces can remain infectious for up to three days. The results showed that the polyester poses the highest transmission risk, with the virus still present after three days and with the ability to transfer to other surfaces. On 100% cotton, the virus lasted for 24 hours, while on polycotton, the virus only survived for six hours.
