According to the research conducted by the CDC, coronavirus can enter your body through respiratory droplets, which can be present in the environment around the infected person usually because of the sneezing or coughing. The evidence from medical research suggests that the germs of coronavirus may remain active for days on surfaces that are made from a variety of materials, which includes fabric.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
