Will COVID-19 breed in the garbage?

Covid-19 will not breed in garbage dumps, but if the temperature and humidity of garbage dumps are appropriate, the survival time of Covid-19 will be prolonged.

Covid-19 can only reproduce in living cells of host and intermediate host. It is found that bat is the original host of Covid-19 and pangolin belongs to the intermediate host of Covid-19. Now there has been human-to-human transmission in Covid-19, so the host of Covid-19 is mainly human. If Covid-19 is carried in the human body, if the virus is not treated and killed in time, Covid-19 will multiply and even mutate.

When the daily necessities of COVID-19 patients are not strictly disinfected, they will be thrown into the garbage dump, and there will be Covid-19 in the garbage dump. However, such Covid-19 has left the host and there are no living cells in the garbage dump, so Covid-19 will not reproduce.

Covid-19 is not resistant to high temperature, so it is suitable to survive in low temperature and humid environment. For example, the temperature of garbage dump is about 2 degrees and the humidity is high, and Covid-19 has a long survival time. Healthy people may be infected with Covid-19 if they do not take protective measures when cleaning up garbage.
