that provides some good insight on how to maintain an acceptable environment against the virus. In the guidance, they specifically state: From the CDC website:rnrnUse a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)-registered hospital disinfectantrnrnUse a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)-registered hospital disinfectant with a label claim for a non-enveloped virus (e.g., norovirus, rotavirus, adenovirus, poliovirus) to disinfect environmental surfaces in rooms of patients with suspected or confirmed Ebola virus infection.rnrnAlthough there are no products with specific label claims against the Ebola virus, enveloped viruses such as Ebola are susceptible to a broad range of hospital disinfectants used to disinfect hard, non-porous surfaces. In contrast, non-enveloped viruses are more resistant to disinfectants. As a precaution, selection of a disinfectant product with a higher potency than what is normally required for an enveloped virus is being recommended at this time. EPA-registered hospital disinfectants with label claims against non-enveloped viruses (e.g., norovirus, rotavirus, adenovirus, poliovirus) are broadly antiviral and capable of inactivating both enveloped and non-enveloped viruses.rnrnWith this in mind, the following hospital grade disinfectants, offered by ProVetLogic, that are proven effective against one or more of the mentioned viruses above can be used to meet the CDC’s recommendations.rnrnProVetLogic Spray & Wipe Disinfectant:Best RTU (ready to use) for disinfection of high-touch surfaces; effective against Rotavirus, Norovirus.rnrnProVetLogic Animal Facility Disinfectant: Best concentrate for floors, walls, doors, bathrooms; Effective against norovirus, adenovirus, rotavirus, parvovirus and Covid-19,rnrn
