Rumor: Sun exposure can kill the novel coronavirus

Fact:

Sun exposure cannot kill the novel coronavirus. 

The irradiation temperature of the sun cannot reach 56 C, and the ultraviolet rays cannot reach the intensity of ultraviolet lamps, so the virus can't be killed by the sun.

If you want to go out for a sun bath, please wear a mask and take other protective measures.
