What temperature kills the virus that causes COVID-19?
3 minutes at temperature above 75C is all it takes to kill COVID19 with heat. 5 minutes for the temperature to go up to 65C. 20 minutes if the temperature is over 60C (150F).
What are some ways to increase ventilation in home during the COVID-19 pandemic?
