EPA approves two Lysol products as 1st to effectively kill novel coronavirus on surfaces

09 Jul 2020 11:06 AM | IJCSA - (Administrator)

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has approved two Lysol products as effective against the novel coronavirus when used on hard, nonporous surfaces.

Lysol Disinfectant Spray and Lysol Disinfectant Max Cover Mist meet the EPA's criteria for use against the SARS-CoV-2, the virus responsible for the ongoing pandemic, based on laboratory testing that found both products kill the virus two minutes after contact, the agency announced in a statement Monday.

A member of Independent Presbyterian Church sprays an organ with Lysol to take precautions against the spread of the coronavirus at Independent Presbyterian Church in Memphis, Tenn., on March 29, 2020.

Lysol said in a statement it is currently working on testing the efficacy of other disinfectant products against COVID-19.

"In the face of the pandemic, Lysol continues to work with a wide range of scientific and health experts to educate the public on the importance of hygiene," said Rahul Kadyan, executive vice president of Reckitt Benckiser in North America, Lysol's parent company.
