Abstract
between humans and nonliving surfaces. Mathematical modeling can be made more complex by adding more parameters, but caution is necessary to ensure that these studies are well designed and that these parameters use readily available, scientifically collected data. Once we obtain more data on the duration of COVID-19 living on nonliving surfaces, we can build more complex models with more parameters.
