Bill Bryan, who is the DHS Science and
Technology Advisor, in his statement, said that their most striking observation
to date is the powerful effect that solar light appears to have in killing the
virus on surfaces and in the air.

And as the world continues its fright
against this “faceless enemy”, new research from the DHS Science and Technology
directorate found that high humidity, temperatures, and sunlight kills the
virus in saliva droplets on non-porous surfaces and in the air.

“We’ve seen a similar effect as well
where increasing the temperature and humidity or both is generally less
favorable to the virus.” The virus dies quickest in the presence of direct
sunlight, and it survives best in indoor conditions, the study found.

Americans should be extra careful to
properly disinfect areas that aren’t exposed to direct sunlight, particularly
within indoor spaces, according to Bryan.

Bryan further said that bleach will
kill the virus in five minutes, isopropyl alcohol will kill the virus in 30
seconds, and rubbing it makes it go away even faster.”

According to news DHS and the White
House corona virus task force will continue to look at the virus in saliva and
how it reacts to other disinfectants.
