Heat kills Coronavirus, ‘enjoy the sun’ - Trump tell Americans

The United States President Donald Trump has called on Americans to “enjoy the sun” after unveiling a study that supposedly showed that the novel coronavirus dissipates more quickly with sunlight and at higher temperatures.

Trump during his daily coronavirus task force briefing said: “I hope people enjoy the sun, and if it has an impact that’s great.”
