Its much hardier than common bugs - shedding fresh light on its rapid spread, say German scientists.
Surfaces that are frequently touched are most likely to be harbouring the highly contagious disease - especially in hospitals or crowded Tube stations.
But the potentially deadly droplets can be destroyed within a minute simply through regular wiping with disinfectants such as Domestos.
Corresponding author Professor Gunter Kampf said: "In hospitals these can be door handles, for example, but also call buttons, bedside tables, bed frames and other objects in the direct vicinity of patients, which are often made of metal or plastic."
In the first analysis of its kind his team pooled data from 22 previous studies on coronaviruses and their inactivation for a future textbook.
It focused on the Sars and Mers coronaviruses and found they can persist and remain infectious at room temperature for up to nine days. The average is four to five days.
Prof Kampf, of the Institute of Hygiene and Environmental Medicine at Greifswald University Hospital, said: "Low temperature and high air humidity further increase their lifespan."
The results published in the Journal of Hospital Infection should also apply to the current coronavirus 2019-nCoV, he said.
To put this in context flu viruses can survive on hard surfaces and infect another person for 24 to 48 hours.
The length of time cold viruses can live outside the body is even shorter - usually only a few hours.
The coronavirus 2019-nCov, dubbed the Wuhan virus, has already claimed at least 910 lives - more than the 774 Sars outbreak in 2003.
Both originated in China and virologists say they are genetically close. There is no specific therapy.
Prevention is of particular importance in order to stem the epidemic, said prof Kampf.
Co-author Prof Eike Steinmann, head of the Department for Molecular and Medical Virology at Ruhr-University Bochum, said: "Under the circumstances, the best approach was to publish these verified scientific facts in advance, in order to make all information available at a glance."

EXCLUSIVE
LUCY MACKENTWITTERPRESTIGE PROPERTY REPORTER FEB 8, 2020
Sydney’s prestige housing market is expected to be one of the casualties of the coronavirus after the traditional influx of high-end shoppers from China are forced to stay home.
The short-term loss of visitors due to the federal government’s ban on non-Australian citizens travelling here from China and longer-term economic fallout from the contagion follows this summer’s disastrous bushfire season, which had already impacted on Australia’s standing as an international housing market .
The Lunar New Year is typically the busiest time of year for visitors from China, and agents on both sides of Sydney Harbour have long made the most of the annual holiday by timing the launch of their high-end listings accordingly.
“This has forced our best buyers to stay away,” said Rob Klaric, of property advisory The Property Expert.
“The other concern weighing on would-be buyers is the ripple effect of China’s manufacturing and economic slowdown on our Australian wallets,” said LJ Hooker Double Bay’s Bill Malouf.
Two buyers from China were unable to enter Australia to inspect the house of Lihong Hong.AMP Capital chief economist Dr Shane Oliver said the travel ban was expected to translate to a cut of 0.2 per cent from GDP this quarter.
“The virus probably will affect the buying decisions of people for the next year at least, just as it will affect the tourism market for a year or so. But then it would be hoped the impact will blow over,” Dr Oliver said.
“It depends how long it lasts. SARS was over relatively quickly. It appeared in February 2003, peaked in April and then faded away. If this is like SARS and peaks in the next month or so and then fades away then it won’t have much of an impact long term. But if it lasts longer than that, then it could be severe.”
Australia’s standing as an international housing destination was already suffering from this summer’s catastrophic bushfires before the coronavirus appeared, said Ken Jacobs, of Christie’s International.
“This summer’s blanket coverage internationally of these huge fires, burnt animals and smoke hanging over Sydney changed that perception of blue skies and natural environments,” said Mr Jacobs. “The question is, how long will that perception of Australia as a wasteland last?”
This summer’s bushfire disaster has already impacted on Australia’s standing as an international housing market. Photo: Nick MoirDr Oliver agrees that the bushfires will have more serious damage than the virus. “The virus impact will be felt around the world and didn’t originate here, whereas the bushfire is specific to Australia and people’s perception of Australia.”
Ray White recently closed an Adelaide agency after the World Health Organisation contacted them to say two confirmed coronavirus victims recently attended one of their auctions, prompting the office to close with staff placed in a temporary, self-imposed quarantine until Friday.
Monika Tu of BlackDiamondz said some buyers from China arrived in Sydney before the travel ban went into effect last Saturday, but two buyers who had planned to visit and inspect a $20 million house in Vaucluse and a $10 million house in Blakehurst never arrived.
The Vaucluse house, owned by Lihong Hong, is a seven-bedroom mansion with tennis court and swimming pool sold in 2017 for $15.38 million by Margaret Weiss, former wife of Ardent Leisure chairman Dr Gary Weiss.
