3 sources for · 0 against

Scientific evidence consistently demonstrates that SARS-CoV-2 remains stable and resistant to lower ambient or mild thermal conditions (such as 37 C) for extended periods, but can be effectively inactivated when exposed to higher temperatures (such as 56 C to 70 C) for sufficient durations.

Demonstrates that SARS-CoV-2 is stable at 37 C for at least 24 hours but is inactivated by 56 C for 30 minutes, confirming thermal resistance up to certain thresholds.

The analysis

The claim asserts that SARS-CoV-2 is resistant to moist heat up to certain temperatures and durations. Papers [1], [5], and [6] directly investigate the thermal stability and heat inactivation of SARS-CoV-2, showing that the virus survives at mild temperatures (e.g., 37 C) for extended periods and requires specific higher temperature thresholds and durations to be inactivated. These papers fully support the claim. No papers refute it.

Shows that SARS-CoV-2 heat inactivation rates depend significantly on temperature and procedure, illustrating how the virus withstands certain heating conditions depending on exposure.
2022 · cited by 6
Establishes that heating SARS-CoV-2 to specific temperatures (such as 70 C for 5 min) successfully inactivates it, confirming that lower temperatures leave the virus resistant for specified durations.
