The findings are preliminary and yet to be peer reviewed and published, DHS spokesperson tells ABC News.

“Now, the virus that we’re talking about having to do — you know, a lot of people think that goes away in April with the heat — as the heat comes in,” Trump said in February."Typically, that will go away in April.”

President Donald Trump listens as Bill Bryan, head of science and technology at the Department of Homeland Security, speaks about the coronavirus in the James Brady Press Briefing Room of the White House, April 23, 2020, in Washington.

MORE: After backlash that his disinfectant 'ingestion' idea could be deadly, Trump claims he was being 'sarcastic' “We started producing the master question list, we saw that there were these knowledge gaps in understanding the environmental impacts and the survivability of the virus, and so we began our studies along those lines,” the spokesman added.

DHS didn't start the study at the president's direction, a spokesman said, but it came about the same time that the president began floating the idea of warm weather --"heat" as he called it -- could have an impact on the virus.
