- The CDC states that coronaviruses survive for shorter periods at higher temperatures and higher humidity and recent studies have shown that transmission of COVID-19 in outdoor environments is very rare. A recent study also found “that the virus’ ability to spread may be ‘significantly reduced’ in outdoor conditions when exposed to direct sunlight.” (The Journal of Infectious Diseases)
