How eliminate coronaviruses?
After 15219 cases and 201 deaths only in the United States we need understand why coronavirus propagates so fast, and maybe this is because americans don't clean efficiently.
We can find a lof of publisity in tv or internet abaut how we need wash our hands, but, the real ask is, what we need for clean?, a article from University Medicine Greifswald talk abaut this important teme.
Currently, the emergence of a novel human coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2, has become a global health concern causing severe respiratory tract infections in humans. Human-to-human transmissions have been described with incubation times between 2-10 days, facilitating its spread via droplets, contaminated hands or surfaces.
Ethanol at concentrations between 62% and 71% reduced coronavirus infectivity within 1 min exposure time, Concentrations of 0.1-0.5% sodium hypochlorite and 2% glutardialdehyde were also quite effective. In contrast, 0.04% benzalkonium chloride, 0.06% sodium hypochlorite and 0.55% ortho-phtalaldehyde were less effective.
Human coronaviruses can remain infectious on inanimate surfaces at room temperature for up to 9 days. At a temper- ature of 30 C or more the duration of persistence is shorter.
Human coronaviruses can remain infectious on inanimate surfaces for up to 9 days. Surface disinfection with 0.1% sodium hypochlorite or 62-71% ethanol significantly reduces corona-virus infectivity on surfaces within 1 min exposure time. We expect a similar effect against the SARS-CoV-2.
