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.
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.
