As per Rachel Graham: Epidemiologist at the University of North Carolina, Coronavirus can stay active on a surface from few hours to a few days.
Study published in the Journal of Hospital Infection says on a plastic, ceramic and metals the Coronavirus can stay LIVE for upto 5 days.
The virus transmission happens from an Infected surface. If a human touches infected surface and later touch his face, mouth, eyes or noise then danger of transmission is extremely high. Hence, Biometric Systems have to completely eliminated and you should promote a non-touch attendance system.
