Q: Are higher temperatures more likely to cause loss of infectivity in #SARS_COV_2?
A: The team at @hkumed incubated the virus and observed how long it would take for it to lose infectivity at different temperatures. #COVID19 #KnowTheFacts

Q: Do different surfaces have an effect on the amount of time it takes for #SARS_COV_2 to lose infectivity?
A: The team @hkumed tested how long it would take for the virus to lose infectivity on different surfaces. #COVID19 #KnowTheFacts

Q: Are disinfectants effective in causing #SARS_COV_2 to lose infectivity?
A: The @hkumed team tested a wide variety of different disinfectants and found that all the following were effective in causing viruses to lose infectivity after 5 minutes of use. #COVID19 #KnowTheFacts
