Coronavirus-COVID-19: Testing the survival of the virus
Scientific trials have been carried out to measure how and how much the virus is transmitted.
We must base our choices on this objective data if we want to combat scientifically the spread of the virus.
The virus spreads with saliva, so both with the droplets projected talking and breathing, both with the steam contained in the air that we exhale, and through the objects that are contaminated by these agents.
Luckily for us to get in touch with the virus does not necessarily mean getting infected.
Our body has the capabilities to defend against the virus, managing to eliminate and destroy it.
We must therefore try to increase our immune defences and limit contact with the virus as much as possible.
The trial we describe below shows that we can come into contact with the virus in many situations.
Knowing where and how much the virus can be present, we will have to limit the possibility of contact with the virus to the maximum, either by avoiding contaminated breath and air, and by avoiding touching contaminated objects.

In this article we refer directly to the trial carried out by five government-accredited laboratories.
The documentation we have access to is owned by the U.S. government and freely usable.
Many other laboratories have carried out similar trials and come to similar conclusions, thus validating the conclusions drawn from this trial.
Some of the data we provide below, taken from the sources cited, are preliminary and have not yet been sufficiently tested by other laboratories to be adopted as clinical practices. This is the disclaimer:
Preprints are preliminary reports of work that have not been certified by peer review. They should not be relied on to guide clinical practice or health-related behavior and should not be reported in news media as established information.
This is the definition of peer review
From this disclaimer we can conclude that we can use this information in order to implement greater caution in the prevention of infection, without going against the official provisions.
