Coronavirus pandemic that caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) appeared in China in 2019 then spread all over the world .COVID-19 firstly appeared in Egypt in Feb 2020. Studies on the thermal stability of the virus is crucial proper specimens transportation for molecular study. Oropharyngeal swabs were taken from recently infected military people with COVID-19 from Egypt during April 2020. Samples were aliquoted and the thermal stability of the virus was measured using quantitative real Time RT-PCR for samples treated at different temperature ranges from 20 {degrees}C to 70 {degrees}C for 2,4and 6 hours. Results shown that inactivation of the virus and significant reduction in the {Delta}Cq values begin at 40 {degrees}C/4h. Complete virus inactivation and loss of {Delta}Cq values were seen at 50 {degrees}C/6h and 60 {degrees}C. Tested samples showed no significant difference in thermal stability at any temp/time combinations tested.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
