The prevalent respiratory viruses such as SARS-CoV-2 probably persist for a long time on fomites and environmental surfaces. Some recent studies have detected SARS-CoV-2 RNA on the surface of cell phones, door handles and other items in the inhabited sites of confirmed cases. For the aim of this study, a total of 50 environmental surface samples of SARS-CoV-2 was collected from Imam Khomeini Hospital in Ardabil. Forty-one environmental surface samples were proved negative for SARS-CoV-2 RNA while nine surface samples were positive. Our findings regarding surfaces contaminated with the virus are consistent with the results of recent similar researches as it was revealed that a number of different samples taken from hospital surfaces such as handles, cupboards, light switches, and door handles were positive for the presence of SARS-Cov-2.
流行的呼吸道病毒，如 SARS-CoV-2，可能在污染物和环境表面上长时间存在。一些最近的研究在确诊病例居住场所的手机表面、门把手和其他物品上检测到了 SARS-CoV-2 RNA。为了进行这项研究，从阿尔达比勒的伊玛目霍梅尼医院共采集了 50 个 SARS-CoV-2 环境表面样本。41 个环境表面样本的 SARS-CoV-2 RNA 检测结果为阴性，而 9 个样本为阳性。我们关于受病毒污染表面的发现与最近类似研究的结果一致，因为从医院表面（如把手、橱柜、电灯开关和门把手）采集的许多不同样本都被证实存在 SARS-CoV-2。
