In what weather is the virus most likely to spread?

Viruses are most likely to spread in warm winter or spring and autumn. In fact, the virus has a characteristic, that is, it is not afraid of cold and heat. So low temperature is the most favorite and active time for viruses.

The outbreak of novel coronavirus now is because the virus is easy to spread in winter, and the survival rate of the virus will become higher and it is not easy to be killed under such climatic conditions, so so many people will be infected. Viruses can generally be stored in air at zero to four degrees Celsius for several weeks, which is the temperature in winter in the south.

In the northern winter, when the temperature is tens of degrees below zero, the virus can still be stored and will not be killed. As long as the temperature rises slightly, the virus can resume its activity. However, as long as the temperature rises, viruses are often more likely to be killed in summer, so it is difficult for infectious diseases to break out in summer, and basically infectious diseases can be eliminated in summer, just like SARS.

Under normal circumstances, the virus can be inactivated in about 30 minutes at 56 degrees Celsius, and the virus can be killed at this temperature. But besides temperature, there is also a condition that is time, so high temperature and enough time can kill the virus. After the temperature rises in summer, due to the existence of the sun, there are ultraviolet rays in the sun, so under the long-term irradiation of ultraviolet rays, the genetic material of the virus can actually be destroyed, and then the virus DNA is destroyed and loses its infectivity.

So if you want to kill the virus, I hope the temperature will rise. After all, if stored at low temperature, the virus in the outside air may be stored for a long time, so once someone goes out to remove the virus, it is easy to get sick. This is one of the reasons why so many people are infected with novel coronavirus. The virus left over a few months ago may still be contagious.
