A group of French scientists found that after exposing the Coruna virus to a temperature of 60 ° C for an hour, some strains of the virus were still able to reproduce and interact.

According to the experiment, the scientists had to round the temperature to almost boiling point to completely kill the virus, according to the study, whose results were published on the site, according to the study, whose results were published on the site.

Scientists believe that the results of this study will have implications for the safety of laboratory technicians who work with the virus, according to the "South China Morning Post".

In the experiment, the team of scientists injected the cells of the African green monkeys kidney with the virus, a standard host for viral activity tests, with an isolated strain from a patient in Berlin, Germany.

The cells were loaded into tubes representing two different types of environments, one “clean” and the other “polluted” with animal proteins to simulate biological contamination in real-life samples, such as an oral swab.

After heating, viral strains were disabled in the clean environment completely, but some strains survived in the contaminated samples.

The study said that the heating process led to a clear reduction in infection, but sufficient live strains remained able to initiate another round of infection.

There is a growing demand around the world for testing for the new corona virus, but some work had to be done in less-protected laboratories, which exposes technicians in these laboratories directly to samples, which requires "being disabled" before further processing.

And for the new Corona virus, this temperature may be sufficient for samples with low viral loads because they can kill a large proportion of strains, but this may be dangerous for samples that contain very high amounts of the virus, according to the researchers.
