Dozens of viruses exist in the coronavirus family, but only seven
afflict humans. Four are known to cause mild colds in people, while
others are more novel, deadly, and thought to be transmitted from
animals like bats and camels. Health officials have labeled this new
virus SARS-CoV-2 and its disease COVID-19.
Ian Lipkin, director of the Columbia University’s Center for Infection
and Immunity, has been studying the novel coronavirus. He says
sunlight, which is less abundant in winter, can also help break down
viruses that have been transmitted to surfaces.
“UV light breaks down nucleic acid. It almost sterilizes surfaces. If
you’re outside, it’s generally cleaner than inside simply because of that
UV light,” he says.
UV light is so effective at killing bacteria and viruses; it’s often used
in hospitals to sterilize equipment.
Another scholar, David Heymann from the London School of
Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, says not enough is known about this
new virus to predict how it will change with different weather
conditions.
According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), people are most
contagious when they’re showing symptoms. However, some experts
suspect official counts may underestimate the number of infected
people, saying not everyone infected will develop a severe illness.
“We’re only seeing the most severe cases,” says Weston. “There
may be some infection going on that isn’t being detected.”
Many experts are saying SARS-CoV-2 will likely become endemic,
joining the other existing four coronaviruses that cause mild colds, or
becoming a seasonal health hazard like the flu.
To prevent contracting an illness from any virus, the World Health
