The novel coronavirus is more sensitive to heat and the virus is maintained as moderately stable at 4°C and can be stored for several years at -60°C. However, as the temperature increases, the resistance of the virus decreases and must reach a certain temperature and exceed the corresponding time to inactivate. Generally 56 ℃ for 30 minutes to achieve effective inactivation of the virus inactivation. But general air conditioning heating can not achieve the effect of inactivation of the virus, heating can not reach this temperature, sunshine this temperature is also insufficient, the concentration of ultraviolet light is also insufficient. In addition ether, 75% medical alcohol, chlorinated disinfectants, peroxyacetic acid will have an inactivating effect on the coronavirus. Generally this new coronavirus in outdoor conditions, different body fluids and even object surfaces can live survive 2-10 days. Temperature mainly affects the survival time of the new coronavirus and does not affect its infectivity. That is why self-protection of the new coronavirus is especially important during epidemics. Do not go to places where people gather, wash your hands regularly, drink more water, live a regular life and wear a mask when you go out are the main and effective ways to prevent neo-coronavirus.
