This Is the Temperature That Kills Coronavirus

Many people believe that warm weather will have a significant impact on the COVID-19 contagion.

But, what experts say?

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), "heat at 56°C [132.8°F] kills the SARS coronavirus at around 10000 units per 15 minutes." The SARS coronavirus behaves similarly to COVID-19, which leads experts to believe that the novel coronavirus would have a similar fate at that temperature.

Heat is thought to affect the coronavirus in part because it is an enveloped virus with a lipid bilayer. According to BBC, "research on other enveloped viruses suggests that this oily coat makes the viruses more susceptible to heat than those that do not have one."


Until now, everything is in test progress, and noone is 100% sure about coronavirus reactions.
