A study published in found that at room temperature, COVID-19 was detectable on fabric for up to two days, compared to seven days for plastic and metal.

 

According to the journal The Lancet: Microbe, COVID can survive at least 48 hours in clothes.

But under normal room temperature, plastic coats or clothing may survive for 4-5 days.

 

Microporous fibers are easy to capture droplets. These droplets will quickly dry out and become tiny aerogel particles. In the relatively airtight polyester fiber and elastic rayon fiber, it is easy for microorganisms to stay attached and live.
