The new coronavirus is the new coronavirus, and the disease it causes is called new coronavirus pneumonia. New coronavirus pneumonia cannot be killed by drinking more hot water alone. Generally speaking, when the water temperature is above 100℃, the new coronavirus can be eliminated by high temperature sterilization. However, it is impossible for our daily drinking water to reach this temperature, so it does not have a killing effect on the new coronavirus. Patients infected with the new coronavirus may have symptoms such as cough, fever, sore throat, vomiting, etc. Drinking plenty of hot water can relieve the discomfort. For the new coronavirus, prevention is still the mainstay, avoid going to densely populated places in your daily life and strengthen your own protection. If you are able to do so, you can go to a hospital to get vaccinated against the new coronavirus, which can effectively prevent infection or reduce the severity of the disease. If a patient is diagnosed with novel coronavirus pneumonia, he or she should immediately report the case to the local authorities and actively cooperate with the epidemic prevention requirements in order to avoid spreading the disease to other people.
