Virus has no separate existence. It resides in a living cell. Hence the virus can not be killed in boiling water.

Most water borne pathogens including virus are killed if water is allowed to boil (at 100C) for more than two minutes. For higher altitude allow water to boil 2 min longer for every 2km increase in altitude.

Yes, viruses are killed by boiling. Viruses are easier to kill then bacteria. They are destroyed by heating and freezing

Viruses are amazing tenacious little things. They can survive in the cold of outer space.... or the heat of the sun!
Many will be killed by boiling water, most of them that you would be concerned with.

boiling kills viruses. actually, viruses are so fragile without the host, so as long as they are outside in the air they are inactive anymore...especially if the contamination area get dry or washed with hot water or detergent.

Well I always thought that virus can not be killed by heat and only bacteria could.
