Experts are warning that COVID-19 can live on the soles of shoes for up to five days. They say shoes are more likely to carry coronavirus if it has been worn in busy areas like supermarkets, airports or on public transport. The sole of a shoe is the main breeding ground for bacteria, fungi and viruses, but respiratory droplets carried in the air from a person infected with coronavirus can still land anywhere on the upper part of a shoe like the laces or the heel. They say shoes should be left in garages or directly inside the front door so to not track anything into the house.
