Likelihood of survival of coronavirus in a respiratory droplet deposited on a solid surface
, 2020 We predict and analyze the drying time of respiratory droplets from a COVID-19 infected subject, which is a crucial time to infect another subject. The drying of the droplet is predicted by diffusion-limited evaporation model for a sessile droplet placed
