Covid Variants25 Aug 2021 07:54
A new type of virus and belongs to the beta-coronavirus
group. It is very similar to SARS-CoV. The coronavirus is spherical in shape with a diam?eter of about 130 nm. Due to its small size, it can remain airborne for a long time and can
easily pass through many protective materials [6]. Coronavirus is a pathogen different
from other viruses, bacteria, and pathogenic microorganisms known to the waste man?agement industry on a daily basis. Figure 2 shows the persistence of coronavirus on the
surface of different wastes [7].
Figure 2. Persistence of SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus on different wastes [7].
Coronavirus persistence reaches the lowest level on glassware, copper (4 h) [7] and
gloves (<8 h) [7], while it is the highest on silicon (5 days) [7], plastics (3 days) [7] and steel
