“…Second, the donor nasopharyngeal swab testing was performed using assays under Emergency Use Authorization since there were no available FDA-cleared or approved test kits, see Table 10 for information on assay performance characteristics. Third, tissue storage (Auer et al 2014 ; Bao 2013 ), freeze thaw cycles (Dzung 2021 ; Botling 2009 ), and any minimal processing performed (e.g., rinsing) could have impacted results (Schilling-Loeffler 2022 ; Nogueira 2022 ). The bone and tendon were not rinsed prior to testing and thus represent a worst case for viral load.…”

Risk for transmission of SARS-CoV-2 through allogeneic human tissue transplantation is unknown. To further evaluate the risk of virus transmission, tissues were obtained from deceased donors who had tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 RNA via nasopharyngeal swab. This study evaluated an array of human tissues recovered for transplantation, including bone, tendon, skin, fascia lata, vascular tissues, and heart valves. Tissue samples and plasma or serum samples, if available, were tested for viral RNA (vRNA) using a real time PCR system for the presence of virus RNA. All samples were tested in quadruplicate for both subgenomic (sgRNA) and genomic (gRNA) RNA encoding the SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid gene. Amplification of a cellular housekeeping gene served as the positive control for every sample. A total of 47 tissue samples from 17 donors were tested for SARS-CoV-2 RNA. Four donors had plasma or serum available for paired testing. SARS-CoV-2 RNA was not detected from any tissue or plasma/serum sample tested. Based on these findings, risk of transmission through the transplantation of tissue types studied from SARS-CoV-2 infected donors is likely to be low.

“…Bonny et al [ 45 ] reported that HCoV-229E (VR-740) was persistent on the glass surface for up to 7 d at 24 °C at 50% relative humidity, and on the seventh day reached 2 × 10 4 plaque forming unit (PFU). Katja Schilling-Loeffler et al [ 46 ] investigated the persistence of HCoV-229E (100 μL of 2.5 × 10 5 PFU) on a glass slide surface (Menzel GmbH&Co. KG, Braunschweig, Germany) under both light and dark conditions. They found that under dark conditions, the viral titer reduced by 0.5 in 3 d, with a 2.7 log 10 reduction in PFU after 14 d. The remaining virus was inactivated after 25 d. In light conditions, the virus persisted at a 3.3 log 10 reduction in PFU for 3 d, and the remaining virus was inactivated after 14 d. Artificially prepared glass also inactivated the virus.…”

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) has been responsible for the initiation of the global pandemic since 2020. The virus spreads through contaminated air particles, fomite, and surface-contaminated porous (i.e., paper, wood, and masks) and non-porous (i.e., plastic, stainless steel, and glass) materials. The persistence of viruses on materials depends on porosity, adsorption, evaporation, isoelectric point, and environmental conditions, such as temperature, pH, and relative humidity. Disinfection techniques are crucial for preventing viral contamination on animated and inanimate surfaces. Currently, there are few effective methodologies for preventing SARS-CoV-2 and other coronaviruses without any side effects. Before infection can occur, measures must be taken to prevent the persistence of the coronavirus on the surfaces of both porous and non-porous inanimate materials. This review focuses on coronavirus persistence in surface materials (inanimate) and control measures. Viruses are inactivated through chemical and physical methods; the chemical methods particularly include alcohol, chlorine, and peroxide, whereas temperature, pH, humidity, ultraviolet irradiation (UV), gamma radiation, X-rays, ozone, and non-thermal, plasma-generated reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (RONS) are physical methods.
