Here's a USEPA approved list of disinfectants to use against the Coronavirus

The United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) has just announced the release of a list of EPA-registered disinfectants that may be used against SARS-CoV-2, the coronavirus that causes COVID-19.



As you may know, California's Governor Gavin Newsome declared a state of emergency this past Wednesday as a result of the coronavirus outbreak in the state. 

“Using the correct disinfectant is an important part of preventing and reducing the spread of illnesses along with other critical aspects such as hand washing,” said EPA Administrator Andrew Wheeler. “There is no higher priority for the Trump Administration than protecting the health and safety of Americans. EPA is providing this important information in a public and transparent manner on disinfectant products to help reduce the spread of COVID-19.”

Some of the disinfectants appear to be products commonly found in grocery stores and other retail markets, including products made by Clorox, Lysol, and Purell, among others.
