Here’s how long the coronavirus will last on surfaces, and how to disinfect those surfaces.

"Never mix household bleach with ammonia or any other cleanser," CDC says.

Thanks for the helpful info. I am in a hotel right now - I had to drive to Sacramento to help my son move out of his college dorm - and I am paranoid about every surface in this place. I brought my home brew of 70% rubbing alcohol mixed with a little aloe vera and am splashing the stuff on any surface i go near! I must look ridiculous but thats what I’m doing. I hope it works. I need this virus like a hole in the head.

This is what NSW Health are telling us: (and we are having a very low rate of infection and death here)
"According to the World Health Organization, it is not certain how long the virus that causes COVID-19 survives on surfaces, but it seems to behave like other coronaviruses. Studies suggest that coronaviruses (including preliminary information on the COVID-19 virus) may persist on surfaces for a few hours or up to several days. This may vary under different conditions (e.g. type of surface, temperature or humidity of the environment).

If you think a surface may be infected, clean it with a common household disinfectant to kill the virus and protect yourself and others. Clean your hands with an alcohol-based hand rub or wash them with soap and water. Avoid touching your eyes, mouth, or nose."

In other words, don't become paranoid about this, just clean surfaces with a disinfectant and wash your hands regularly.
