On Sunday, authorities in Italy announced several new measures would be implemented to prevent the further spread of coronavirus, including stopping the remainder of Venice’s famed carnival. Schools and other public venues have also been shut down in parts of the country, where more than 130 people have tested positive for the virus.

But how long can the new coronavirus linger on surfaces, anyway? The short answer is, we don't know. But if this new coronavirus resembles other human coronaviruses, such as its "cousins" that cause SARS and MERS, it can stay on surfaces —  such as metal, glass or plastic — for as long as nine days, according to a new study. (In comparison, flu viruses can last on surfaces for only about 48 hours.)
