inanimate surfaces and its inactivation with biocidal agents

Dear All,

This publication (in press yesterday) notes the following in the summary:

*”The analysis of 22 studies reveals that human coronaviruses such as
Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) coronavirus, Middle East
Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) coronavirus or endemic human coronaviruses
(HCoV) can persist on inanimate surfaces like metal, glass or plastic for up
to 9 days, but can be efficiently inactivated by surface disinfection
procedures with 62-71% ethanol, 0.5% hydrogen peroxide or 0.1% sodium
hypochlorite within 1 minute”.

Kampf G, et al. Persistence of coronaviruses on inanimate surfaces and its
inactivation with biocidal agents, Journal of Hospital Infection, https://
doi.org/10.1016/j.jhin.2020.01.022.

May be of interest/use.

Regards

Glenys
