Recommended Studies
Persistence of coronaviruses on inanimate surfaces and their inactivation with biocidal agents
“Can be efficiently inactivated by surface disinfection procedures with 62-71% ethanol, 0.5% hydrogen peroxide or 0.1% sodium hypochlorite within 1 minute” (G. Kampf et al, J Hosp Infect. 2020 Mar; 104(3): 246-251).
Coronavirus disinfection in histopathology
“Experts are confident that 70% ethanol and 0.1% sodium hypochlorite should inactivate the virus” (Anthony F. Henwood, Coronavirus Disinfection In Histopathology 2020 Mar).
