    (1) Findings from S&T’s Nat’l Biodefense Analysis and Countermeasures Ctr: #COVID19 virus is inactivated quickest with direct sunlight both on surfaces and in air. There are still unknowns about transmission + more work needs to be done before it’s safe to return normal life.

    (2) NBACC found that #COVID19 virus does not survive well in saliva as temperature/humidity increases. The virus inactivates quickest in the presence of direct sunlight + appears to survive best in indoor/dry conditions.
