Sunrays can eliminate Coronavirus on surfaces and wind
Washington, 28th April (Reuters): The sun’s powerful rays quickly wipe out coronaviruses on winds and surfaces, US scientists revive hopes. ۔However, the study has not yet been made public.
According to the French news agency, William Brian, an adviser to the US Secretary of the Interior on science and technology, told reporters at the White House yesterday that according to the research of American scientists, the sun’s rays have the power to end the epidemic and hope that by summer its spread will be reduced.
“The largest observation the United States has ever made is that solar energy will help eliminate viruses on wind and surfaces, and we’ve seen similar effects in temperature and humidity,” he said. Increases in temperature and humidity or both are less beneficial for coronavirus.
COVID-19: When will the pandemic end?
Brian said the half-life of the virus is 18 hours when the temperature on unprotected surfaces, such as doors, handles, and steel objects, is 21 to 24 degrees Celsius with 20 percent humidity, but the remaining half-life of the virus is up to 6 hours.
Humidity should be up to 80% as well as 2 minutes of sunlight, while the half-life of the virus in the air is one hour when the temperature is 70 to 75 degrees Celsius with 20% humidity and if the sun’s rays enter it, the life of the virus is reduced to one and a half minutes.
He said that in hot weather, the transmission or spread of the virus may be reduced, but this does not mean that the outbreak will be completely eradicated.
Social distance guidelines will have to be followed. “It would be irresponsible for us to think that the virus would be completely eradicated in hot weather and we are all free and people should ignore the precautions,” he said.
