Corona virus 'highly sensitive ' to high temperatures, studies say pathogen appears to spread at 8.72 degree celsius ,So countries in colder climate should 'adopt the strictest control measures according to researches from Sun yat sen University in Guangdong province.

The virus that causes COVID 19,may have a temperature sweet spot at which it spreads fastest, a new study has suggested ,but experts say people should avoid falling into trap of thinking it will react to seasonal changes in exactly the same way as other pathogens ,like those that cause the common cold and influenza.
