The copperclothing linked study (2014) used a bovine corona virus that is a "surrogate of human coronavirus", so the results aren't necessarily valid for the current pandemic virus.
Yesterday, in a link I can't quickly find, I saw surface lifetimes for the pandemic virus on copper, stainless steel and polyethylene surfaces. Those were 4 hours, 3+ days and 3+ days, respectively.
If I can find the link, I'll come back to post.
