Experts from the Russian Federal Service for Consumer Protection and Human Welfare (Rospotrebnadzor) have announced the "survival" period of the coronavirus in water.
It was stated that almost all COVID-19 particles (90%) have the ability to "die" even at room temperature for 24 hours, and 99.9% for 72 hours.
According to Gadin.Net, the research was conducted at the Vector Center.
"We have learned that the virus cannot multiply in chlorinated water and seawater, it can remain. At the same time, the activation of a new type of coronavirus directly depends on the temperature of the water, "the press service of the Vector Center said.
By the way, boiling water leads to the complete destruction of the virus, and in chlorinated water the virus loses its vitality.
Recall that biologist Sergei Netesov said that in order to destroy the SARS-CoV 2 virus, clothes should be washed at 60 degrees for 1.5 hours.
