How resistant to moist heat is SARS-CoV-2
At one of FB groups I have found the following figure:
As the efficiency of disinfection methods has been tested against E. coli, I wonder, how resistant SARS-CoV-2 is? Is it safe to reuse FFP2/3 (N95/99) mask treated for 10 minutes with boiling water vapor or not?
The assumption is FFP2/3 is effective against infectious particles.

Regardless of whether high-temperature steam kills SARS-CoV-2, a technical bulletin from 3M notes specifically that they do not recommend sterilizing N95 FFR masks using high temperature, autoclave, or steam as these methods cause significant filter degradation: multimedia.3m.com/mws/media/1824869O/decontamination-methods-for-3m-n95-respirators-technical-bulletin.pdf
