@Parikshitl @CNBCTV18Live Here is what Prof Nicholls said ‘studies which we have completed & been submitted for publication shows that the virus is actually very stable at 4 degrees Celsius but once you get to 35 degrees Celsius this virus goes down for 1 to 2 days 1/4
Prof Nicholls ‘got clear lab evidence that this virus is heat sensitive. Seeing how there has been a very low instance of community transmission in areas where it has been very warm, in places like say Thailand, Vietnam, Philippines & probably in parts of Africa and India 2/4
Prof Nicholls ‘think the evidence is probably that what we can hope for is that the virus will not survive in a very warm environment. However I do understand that this has now been put as number one myth by the WHO and WHO says that it is a false hope 3/4
Prof Nicholls ‘However we do live in hope but the laboratory evidence is that this virus is heat sensitive.” 4/4#CNBCTV18Exclusive #COVID2019
