Scientists discovered the weakness of SARS-CoV-2 virus

According to the South China Morning Post, scientists from Sun Yat-sen University discovered that the spread rate of the new strain of corana virus SARS-CoV-2 depends on the season and temperature.

Scientists say the ideal temperature for the virus to multiply and spread is 8.72 degrees Celsius. The Chinese assumption has been confirmed by climate statistics.

Researchers from Sun Yat-sen University studied the weather reports in January in China and several other countries, showing that the peak of SARS-CoV-2 infection occurred on days when temperatures were high. the average is 8.72 degrees Celsius. A rise in temperature of at least a few degrees will result in a reduction in incidence.

Does this mean that starting the summer climate, the SARS-CoV-2 virus will completely disappear? Scientists admit that hot and humid weather can weaken SARS-CoV-2 , but without a vaccine , the disease would be hard to disappear - the disease will still work even without a sharp outbreak. winter.

As of March 11, 118,000 people worldwide were infected with SARS-CoV-2, of which more than 4,000 were killed.

The COVID-19 disease situation in Italy is still unpredictable with the speed of rapid spread, while in China the situation has gradually stabilized.
