COVID-19: Three quick questions answered

How long have corona viruses existed?
The most recent common ancestor (MRCA) of all coronaviruses is estimated to have existed as recently as 8000 BCE, although some models place the common ancestor as far back as 55 million years or more!

In what conditions does COVID-19 survive the longest?
Coronaviruses die quickly when exposed to UV light. SARS-CoV-2 survives longest when the temperature is at room temperature or lower, and when the relative humidity is low (<50%).

Can I get COVID-19 while swimming?
The COVID-19 virus does not transmit through water while swimming.
