The Covid-19 virus can live and stay in the air indoors for around 3 to 4 hours unless the Covid-19 virus falls to surfaces and in that case the Covid-19 virus can last on hard surfaces for around 24 hours and on soft porous surfaces the Covid-19 virus can survive for around 3 to 4 hours.
So it's important to wash and disinfect surfaces often to kill the Covid1-9 virus as well as other viruses.

COVID-19 is caused by a coronavirus called SARS-CoV-2.
Older adults and people who have severe underlying medical conditions like heart or lung disease or diabetes seem to be at higher risk for developing more serious complications from COVID-19 illness.
