The Environmental Protection Agency’s List N provides information regarding disinfectants that may be useful in killing the COVID-19 virus.
The EPA notes surface disinfectant products on List N have not been tested specifically against SARS-CoV-2, the cause of COVID-19. The agency expects them to kill the virus because they have demonstrated effectiveness against a harder-to-kill virus or another type of similar human coronavirus. Because COVID-19 is a new virus, it has not been subjected to laboratory testing to see whether specific disinfectant products are effective at killing it.
