Abstract
The surface environment in COVID-19 patient's rooms may be persistently contaminated despite disinfection. A continuously active disinfectant demonstrated excellent sustained antiviral activity following a 48-hour period of wear and abrasion exposures with reinoculations. Reductions of >4-log10 were achieved within a 1-minute contact time for SARS-CoV-2 and the human coronavirus, 229E.
