Now, a new study claims that spending time outdoors can actually reduce your risk of coronavirus. Scientists Jose-Luis Sagripanti and David Lytle - a US Army veteran and former employee at the Food and Drug Administration, respectively - say that strong sunlight can kill coronavirus in just 34 minutes. In the study, the researchers analysed how well UV sunlight could destroy the virus in various cities at different times of the year. The analysis suggests that ‘midday sunlight in most US and world cities during summer’ can wipe out 90% of coronavirus living on surfaces in just 34 minutes. Countries with hot weather have reported cases of COVID-19.”WHO also advised against using UV lamps to try to combat the virus.
