coronavirus was “rapidly inactivated.”
4 hours in NIH link I provided
Yes less than stainless steel but not a miracle shield from transmission
Also notice in this op link somewhere its added “using copper along with standard hygiene protocolsl”

I have added the link to OPs so people can see Yes it may be less time than plastic or stainless steel but not a bug zapper or shield

Bracelets / Penny/ high intake of copper for a long time ?I hope not thought of as protection
