[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote] Research on the impact of temperature has shown that SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, is sensitive to elevated temperatures, with over 99.99% inactivation in only a few minutes at 70°C (158°F). However, this temperature is far outside the limits of human comfort and could damage some building materials.[/quote]

A drier usually is about 125-135 and will kill 99.99% of the virus after 20 minutes.

[quote] If you heat a material up to 130 degrees F, which is the high setting on a dryer or a very low oven setting, you only need about 20 minutes to kill greater than 99.99% of the virus,” said Glenn. “If you’re heating up to 150 degrees F or higher, then you only need about five minutes to kill greater than 99.99%.”
