Determining the prevalence and persistence of viruses outside the human host aids our ability to characterize exposure risk across multiple transmission pathways. Since 2020, the Coronavirus Disease 2019 pandemic has resulted in a surge of research regarding severe acute respiratory syndrome-coronavirus-type 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and its potential to spread via direct and indirect contact transmission routes. Here, the authors discuss the current state of the science concerning SARS-CoV-2 transmission via contaminated surfaces and its persistence on environmental surfaces. This review aims to provide the reader with an overview of the currently published SARS-CoV-2 persistence studies, factors impacting persistence, guidelines for performing persistence studies, limitation of current data, and future directions for assessing SARS-CoV-2 persistence on fomites.
确定病毒在人类宿主之外的流行情况和持续存在情况，有助于我们描述多种传播途径中的暴露风险。自2020年以来，2019冠状病毒病大流行引发了大量关于严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2型（SARS-CoV-2）及其通过直接和间接接触传播途径传播潜力的研究。在此，作者讨论了关于SARS-CoV-2通过受污染表面传播及其在环境表面持续存在的科学现状。本综述旨在为读者提供已发表的SARS-CoV-2持续存在研究的概述、影响持续存在的因素、进行持续存在研究的指南、当前数据的局限性以及评估SARS-CoV-2在污染物上持续存在情况的未来方向。
