'The novel coronavirus can survive in high temperatures, researchers said, casting doubt on suggestions that the threat will subside in the summer. '
'It took 15 minutes of exposure to 197.6-degree temperatures to kill the virus, the newspaper noted, adding that the study has yet to be peer-reviewed. '
'Researchers from the University of Aix-Marseille in France, led by Professor Remi Charrel and Boris Pastorino, found that the virus survived in 140-degree Fahrenheit temperatures typically used to disinfect research labs, the Jerusalem Post reported. '
'Researchers did say the lower temperature should be sufficient to deactivate the virus in samples with smaller loads, but added that the higher temperature was necessary for larger loads, and concluded disinfecting chemicals were a better option. '
'A National Academies of Sciences (NAS) panel told the White House in early April that previous research suggesting a connection between temperature and the virus’s transmissibility were flawed.“There is some evidence to suggest that [the coronavirus] may transmit less efficiently in environments with higher ambient temperature and humidity; however, given the lack of host immunity globally, this reduction in transmission efficiency may not lead to a significant reduction in disease spread” without efforts such as social distancing, the report states, noting that SARS and MERS are not seasonal.
