South Carolina's governor has issued an executive order closing the state's restaurants and bars except for delivery and takeout
From CNN's Jacqueline HowardThe details of a study that found the novel coronavirus could remain on contaminated plastic and stainless steel surfaces for up to three days has been published in the New England Journal of Medicine as a correspondence to the editor.For the study, researchers compared the"surface stability" of the novel coronavirus with that of the SARS-CoV-1 virus, which sparked the SARS epidemic that started in 2002.
SARS-CoV-2 — the name of the novel coronavirus — and SARS-CoV-1 “was similar to that of SARS-CoV-1 under the experimental circumstances tested," the researchers wrote in the study. Coronaviruses are a large group of viruses common among animals. In rare cases, they are what scientists call zoonotic, meaning they can be transmitted from animals to humans. Researchers have estimated that coronaviruses can linger on surfaces from just hours to more than a week.
A study published last month in The Journal of Hospital Infection found that human coronaviruses, such as SARS, have been found to persist on inanimate surfaces — including metal, glass or plastic surfaces — for as long as nine days if that surface had not been disinfected. Researchers continue to investigate just how long the novel coronavirus can linger on surfaces and even in the air, Dr. Maria Van Kerkhove, World Health Organization infectious disease epidemiologist, said during a media briefing on Monday.

The Best South Korean Beauty Lip Tints Perfect For InstagramTint Type: stain\r\nShades Available: 5\r\nWear: all day, baby\r\nYes, Chateau Labiotte is a Korean makeup brand moonlighting as a fake French winery. And yes, the result is the cutest makeup vessel I\u2019ve ever seen\u2014a bizarrely lifelike wine bottle for ants. But this is also the perfect lip tint. This tint looks and lasts like a traditional stain, but doesn\u2019t have that bitter taste or drying, astringent feel typical in other products. It\u2019s also easy to apply: the sheer formula takes its time to dry down, so you can blend outwards for a popsicle look or fix any spots out of bounds. (You can even dab the doe-foot applicator along your cheeks for a flush that lasts.) It didn\u2019t grab on to my dry spots in a gross looking way. And, OK, have you seen the packaging?! The shade Merlot Burgundy RD03, a translucent stunner somewhere between plum and brick, is the one to grab.
