I always get a new litter box for a new kitty. Don't want them to smell another cat. Same with bed, scratchers, etc. Not because of virus concerns but because of marking concerns. If bowls are ceramic, I will use with a new cat. If plastic, I toss them.

Everything that I have read here from this group and online indicates that the virus cannot live outside of the cat's body for very long at all. Personally, I would think that just a good cleaning would be sufficient.
