Increasing Temperature and Relative Humidity Accelerates Inactivation of SARS-CoV-2 on Surfaces

Mitigating the transmission of SARS-CoV-2 in clinical settings and public spaces is critically important to reduce the number of COVID-19 cases while effective vaccines and therapeutics are under development. SARS-CoV-2 transmission is thought to primarily occur through direct person-to-person trans...
