EFFICACY OF VIRKON™ IN THE FACE OF COVID-19.
With the exceptional situation we are currently experiencing, it is
important to have the best prevention methods to
protect your employees, colleagues and customers.
OFFICIAL STATEMENT:
"DIN-approved disinfectants which have received market authorization
for a "broad spectrum virucide" claim (i.e.,
have proven efficacy against a hard-to-kill non-enveloped virus), are
expected to inactivate less resistant enveloped
viruses, such as SARS-CoV-2 (the virus that causes COVID-19).
Therefore, in choosing a hard surface disinfectant to be used against
SARS-CoV-2 (the virus that causes COVID-19),
any disinfectant with a "broad spectrum virucide" claim would be
appropriate, as it would be expected to also
inactive SARS-CoV-2 (the virus that causes COVID-19)."
****
The product VIRKON™ is a broad-spectrum virucidal hard surface
disinfectant.
INDEPENDENT STUDIES HAVE DEMONSTRATED VIRKON™ TO BE EFFECTIVE
AGAINST THE FOLLOWING FIVE CORONAVIRUSES, CANINE
CORONAVIRUS, FELINE INFECTIOUS PERITONITIS VIRUS, PORCINE EPIDEMIC
DIARRHEA VIRUS, AVIAN INFECTIOUS BRONCHITIS VIRUS
AND TRANSMISSIBLE GASTROENTERITIS VIRUS. VIRKON™ IS EXPECTED TO ALSO
INACTIVATE SARS-COV-2 (THE VIRUS THAT CAUSES
COVID-19).
From these tests it can be concluded that Virkon™ is expected to be
effective against SARS-CoV-2 which is causing
the current COVID-19 epidemic at an in-use dilution rate of 1:100.*
