Abstract

In the ongoing SARS CoV-2 pandemic effective measures are needed, and guidance based on the methodological framework of the European committee for standardization (CEN) can help to choose effective disinfectants on an immediate basis. This study demonstrates that two commercially available formulations for surface disinfection and one formulation for hand disinfection claiming "virucidal activity against enveloped viruses" are effectively inactivating SARS-CoV-2. This study emphasizes that chemical disinfectants claiming "virucidal activity against enveloped viruses" are an effective choice to target enveloped SARS-CoV-2 as a preventive measure.
