During the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, many people ramped up their use of hand sanitizer, with research finding that kids used it up to 25 times a day and adults more than nine times a day.
Cold weather and snow do not kill the COVID-19 virus. The virus lives in humans, not in the outdoors, though it can survive on surfaces. Even in cold weather, the body will stay at 36.5–37 degrees Celsius inside, and the COVID-19 virus will not be killed. [16] Hot and humid conditions do not prevent COVID-19 from spreading, either.
Dosages for a 90% kill rate of most bacteria and viruses range between 2,000 and 8,000 μJ/cm 2. Larger parasites such as Cryptosporidium require a lower dose for inactivation. As a result, US EPA has accepted UV disinfection as a method for drinking water plants to obtain Cryptosporidium , Giardia or virus inactivation credits.
The virus must go through a sequence of steps to do this, beginning with binding to a specific "receptor" molecule on the surface of the host cell and ending with the virus "uncoating" inside the cell and releasing its contents.

[1] [2] Counting the number of plaques can be used as a method of virus ...
