Materials were swabbed at different time points (1, 5, 15, 30, 90 minutes), and the amount of live SARS-CoV-2 recovered at each time point was recorded. At one minute, SARS-CoV-2 virus was recovered in 7\/10 types of equipment with the low dose inoculum, while mean recovery of virus from the high dose inoculum fell from 0.74% at 1 minute to 0.39% at 15 minutes and to 0.003% at 90 minutes.
