Does hot water kill the coronavirus?

ABOVE 56 °C FOR 30 MIN.

According to Tang Qin, a researcher at the Popular Science Department of the China Medical Association, hot water above 56 °C / 133 °F kills coronavirus (and other viruses) if exposed to it long enough, but only before it enters your body (on fabric, objects etc). So under no circumstances try to drink hot water as you will only burn yourself and achieve nothing positive by it.
