Is the covid-19 'sensitive' to heat?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: Good Morning, Coronavirus should be killed by cooking temperatures like other corona viruses. If you are asking about heat in the context of weather/climate we are not sure yet about seasonal changes in infections. We do know that people are getting infected in countries/areas with hot weather. https://www.who.int/emergencies/diseases/novel-coronavirus-2019/advice-for-public/myth-busters.
