The population generally lacks immunity to the novel coronavirus, but lipid solvents such as ether, 75% ethanol, chlorinated disinfectants, peroxyacetic acid and chloroform are effective in inactivating the virus, so good disinfection can prevent disease to some extent.
It is recommended to use chlorinated disinfectants and peroxyacetic acid disinfectants to clean and disinfect frequently touched items such as tables, chairs and benches, bedside tables, etc. on a daily basis. Tableware should be washed with detergent and water after use, and hands should be washed regularly before and after meals. Hands and skin are recommended to choose effective disinfectants, such as iodophor, chlorinated disinfectants and hydrogen peroxide disinfectants for hands and skin or quick-drying hand disinfectants for wiping and disinfecting.
