Continuously Active Disinfectant Inactivates SARS-CoV-2 and Human Coronavirus 229E Two Days After the Disinfectant Was Applied and Following Wear Exposures

Abstract

Abstract The surface environment in COVID-19 patient’s rooms may be persistently contaminated despite disinfection. A continuously active disinfectant demonstrated excellent sustained antiviral activity following a 48-hour period of wear and abrasion exposures with reinoculations. Reductions of >4-log10 were achieved within a 1-minute contact time for SARS-CoV-2 and the human coronavirus, 229E.
