A study by Russian scientists has shown that water can almost completely destroy the coronavirus within 72 hours - 90% of virus particles die in room temperature water in 24 hours & 99.9% within 72 hours, according to a study by the State Research Centre of Virology and Biotech

Water at boiling temperature kills the coronavirus completely and instantly - The virus does not multiply in either sea or fresh water - It remains active up to 48 hours on stainless steel, linoleum, glass, plastic, and ceramic surfaces

The research found that the virus is unstable and most household disinfectants are effective against it - ethyl and isopropyl alcohols of 30% concentration can kill up to a million particles of the virus in 30 secs - Disinfectants with chlorine have the same effectiveness
