The novel coronavirus is afraid of alcohol and intolerant to high temperatures. High temperatures can inactivate the novel coronavirus by changing the spatial structure of its proteins and its nucleic acids (genetic material). Therefore, when dealing with clothes, supplies and other objects used by patients infected with novel coronavirus, high temperature disinfection can be used. Disinfection can be achieved by continuous heating for 30 minutes, usually above 56 degrees Celsius. Some things that cannot be steamed can be disinfected with 75% alcohol. This concentration of alcohol can denature the proteins of the virus, thus achieving disinfection.
