suggested that, Plastic Shoes or Sandals may be good for the times as it can
withstand the spray when you return home. Meanwhile The National Institute of
Allergy and Infectious Diseases found that COVID-19 can survive on plastic for
up to two or three days, meaning shoes featuring plastic components are also
risky — though that’s not a primary concern for some doctors. “The sole of the
shoe is the breeding ground of more bacteria and fungi and viruses than the
upper part of a shoe,” emergency physician Cwanza Pinckney.
