Kara Ates, a professor at Hacettepe University's Faculty of Medicine in Turkey, said the coronavirus was affected by heat and sunlight.This was reported by Haber Global.
"Earlier, it was known that the virus loses its effect on a sunny surface for 30 seconds, in some cases for 1-2 minutes. Now comes the winter season, the cold weather affects the destruction of the virus. Therefore, a virus that could not survive for 1 minute can now live for 10 minutes. Therefore, in this process, we must pay more attention to hand hygiene in environments that do not belong to us. Or we need to increase the use of antiseptics a little bit more, "said the professor.
