Title: Spread of SARS-CoV-2 Coronavirus likely to be constrained by climate Document date: 2020_3_16
ID: jjdtuofy_15
Snippet: The mechanism underlying these patterns of climate determination is likely linked with the ability of the virus to survive external environmental conditions prior to reaching a host. For example, a recent study examined survival of dried SARS-CoV-1 Coronavirus on smooth surfaces and found that it would be viable for over 5 days at temperatures ranging between 11-25ºC and relative humidity of 40-50%, drastically loosing viability as temperatures .....
Document: The mechanism underlying these patterns of climate determination is likely linked with the ability of the virus to survive external environmental conditions prior to reaching a host. For example, a recent study examined survival of dried SARS-CoV-1 Coronavirus on smooth surfaces and found that it would be viable for over 5 days at temperatures ranging between 11-25ºC and relative humidity of 40-50%, drastically loosing viability as temperatures and humidity increased (27) . Likewise, an experiment examining the stability of MERS-CoV on plastic and steel surfaces, under three environmental treatments (20ºC -40% relative humidity, 30ºC-30% RH, 30ºC -80% RH), revealed that the virus was more stable in 20ºC and 40% RH treatment, decaying gradually in the second and third treatments (28) .
