Will the Corona epidemic end in the summer ? .. Scientific efforts to find an answer

Many people around the world believe that a rise in temperature during the coming summer season can help stem the spread of the emerging corona virus, or perhaps eliminate the epidemic wave once and for all.

Although various estimates have emerged in this regard, there is no definitive answer yet to the question of whether the summer heat will eliminate the epidemic, researchers say.

Scientists at the University of Utah are trying to test samples of the Corona virus under varying temperatures, according to the "Science Life" scientific site.

These tests may help public health officials learn how the virus reacts to temperature changes.

The physicist at the university, Saviz Safarian, says that the Coruna virus is spreading in a manner similar to the spread of influenza, in terms of infectious mucus droplets suspended in the air.

The world pointed out that the evolution of the interaction of the virus drops or nebulizer at certain temperatures affects the strength of infection, explaining that the viruses lose effectiveness because their particles lose their structural unity.


Safarian received a $ 200,000 grant from the National Science Foundation to learn how the outer surface of the virus has responded to changes in temperature and humidity.

The research is based on building fake copies of these viruses, with outer covers placed on them, but these copies do not contain viral genomes, which makes experiments safe and not infectious.
Versinin emphasized that the copies that are being tested are an exact copy of the Corona virus, stressing that the research seeks to find out what makes these viruses collapse and die.
To carry out an experiment targeting nanorevirus, scientists use focused light rays, and this energy can move virus particles.

The researchers said they hope to see how well the virus can transmit in different conditions, from the open air in the summer heat to the inside of the air-conditioned offices.
This can affect how long the policies of closure and social separation should be.
