How long does the flu virus stay on a surface?


For instance, if someone with the flu uses the phone, is the virus able to spread the next day??

Viruses in general last anywhere from 30 seconds to 15 minutes or so on an inanimate object, depending on its temperature. If said object is moist, they can last longer. The next day? Most likely not.
