  1. In the column-wise comparison, mean DT with different letters implies that there are statistically significant differences (p < 0.05) among the different fomites for the same environmental temperature. (letters A through D). In the row-wise comparison, mean DT with different letters implies that there are statistically significant differences (p < 0.05) among the different environmental temperatures for the same fomite (letters a through c)
