Being Coronavirus-free is not an immediate reality
The consequent rapid surge of COVID-19 infections, partially due to the Omicron variant has once again cast a shadow of disbelief, uncertainty, and fear amongst people. While this new variant is popularly considered to be less virulent compared to the previous strains of the virus, it is 2.7 to 3.7 times more transmissible than the Delta variant among the vaccinated individuals.
What does this news leave us with?
A realization that COVID-19 is here to stay for some time, and we need to ensure maximum precautions, which includes effective sanitation and disinfection.
How do you go on with Choosing Right Disinfectant To Fight COVID?
Centers For Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has laid down the considerations for choosing an effective disinfectant. It must:
Have a wide antimicrobial spectrum
Should work as a disinfectant in diluted state or ready to use state
Be fast-acting
Be active in the presence of organic matter (blood, sputum, feces).
Be non-toxic to the user and environment
Not corrode items and surfaces.
Be stable in concentrate and use-dilution
Have cleaning properties.
Be odorless or emit a pleasant fragrance.
Be easy to use.
Be economical for regular usage.
