48. Source for what?

How long it lasts on different surfaces?

I read two different scientific articles that gave 48 hours as the outside time that the virus would exist on a surface. They explained that the virus's outside envelope that made it particularly virulent in the body was actually quite sensitive outside the body and didn't survive for long when exposed. NIH states that on most surfaces would last less than 24 hours but could last up to 72 hours on plastic and stainless steel.

The virus that causes coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is stable for several hours to days in aerosols and on surfaces, according to a new study from National Institutes of Health, CDC, UCLA and Princeton University scientists in The New England Journal of Medicine. The scientists found that severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) was detectable in aerosols for up to three hours, up to four hours on copper, up to 24 hours on cardboard and up to two to three days on plastic and stainless steel.

Food Transmission? Been widely reported that the Corona virus does not contaminate food, here is a sample

There is no evidence to suggest that COVID-19 is passed on through food. The main risk of transmission is from close contact with infected people. The advice to food businesses and consumers is to maintain good hygiene practices and to wash your hands regularly. Thorough cooking will kill the virus.
