US President Donald Trump on Thursday said that researchers should try to apply their findings to coronavirus patients by inserting ultraviolet light or disinfectant into their bodies.<br /><br />The coronavirus appears to weaken more quickly when exposed to sunlight, heat and humidity, a US official said at a White House news briefing, in a potential sign that the pandemic could become less contagious in summer months.<br /><br />"Is there a way we can do something like that by injection, inside, or almost a cleaning?" said Trump. <br /><br />US government researchers have determined that the virus survives best indoors and in dry conditions, and loses potency when temperatures and humidity rise - and especially when it is exposed to sunlight, said William Bryan, acting head of the US Department of Homeland Security's Science and Technology Directorate.
