Ebola can survive on surfaces for almost TWO MONTHS: Tests reveal certain strains survive for weeks when stored at low temperatures

    Research claims certain strains of Ebola can remain on surfaces for 50 days
    It survived the longest on glass surfaces stored at 4° (39°F)
    Centres for Disease Control and Prevention claims Ebola typically lives on a ‘dry’ surface for hours - including doorknobs and tables
    But when stored in moist conditions such in mucus, this is extended
    Survival time depends on the surface, and the room temperature
    Virus can be killed using household bleach and people must come into direct contact with the sample to risk infection
