CORONAVIRUS UPDATE

As you all know by now, Covid-2019 is an enveloped coronavirus...

Unlike Norovirus, enveloped viruses are extremely easy to deactivate.

Viruses do not stay airborne and will only spread for a certain distance from the source of a sneeze. In the case of measles (Rubeola virus) this can be up to 30m from the source, with Covid-19 the distance is thought to be significantly less (around 2m). Viruses require living host cells to remain active, outside of these host cells they remain infectious for a limited time-span. We do not have enough information for Covid-19, however the data that we do have suggests that this could be anywhere between 3 and 5 days. The quantity of infectious material will be dramatically reduced within 72 hours.

NHS guidelines recommend the following:

Frequent hand washing, elbow to finger-tip with soap and hot water (2x Happy Birthday) is the best approach (Safehands Premier/Safe Shield Handwash are ideal).

Sanitisers should be used when there is no access to a sink (sanitisers are not necessary if hands are being washed frequently).
The NHS recommends 60% Alcohol sanitisers as alcohol sanitisers are commonly available and cost-effective.

Due to the very limited resistance that enveloped viruses such as Covid-19 have to all disinfectant products, there is no doubt that alcohol gels work. The same is true of quat-based sanitisers such as Enduro.

However, alcohol evaporates rapidly and does not therefore, provide any residual effect. Conversely, quat-based sanitisers (such as Enduro), will deliver long-term residual biocidal efficacy. In the case of Enduro this residual effect can last up to 4 hours.

Although Covid-19 is not currently available for testing at commercial laboratories, Enduro has been tested to BS:EN14476 against H1N1 (a similar coronavirus to Covid-19).

As Bacticlean, Bacticlean XTRA, FAD and Bacteria X are all quat-based, they too will have residual biocidal efficacy when used as surface disinfectants.

If you have any questions please speak to the technical team.

CORONAVIRUS UPDATE


As of 03/03/2020 there have been 92,275 cases of coronavirus worldwide.

However, 51,578 cases are closed and 94% of these closed cases have made a full recovery.

Globally, there are ~40,000 active cases.
Based on already closed cases, AT LEAST 94% of these active cases will make a full recovery.

Both Covid-2019 and Seasonal flu are coronaviruses. To put things in perspective, seasonal flu has killed >7,500 in the UK alone this season.

The guidelines for prevention of coronaviruses are identical whether they be for Covid-2019 or seasonal flu.
Frequent handwashing (elbow to fingertip) is essential, Safeshield handwash is ideal for this application
Use of an alcohol based hand sanitiser may help too
Your usual disinfection products will suffice for cleaning surfaces
Should you have dealings with a suspected or confirmed active case then call NHS 111 who will provide you with advice.

NHS will advise disinfecting surfaces with a bleach based product delivering 1000ppm of active chlorine with a contact time of at least 10 minutes.

Products we stock that will kill the virus:
Enduro
Antibak
Chlorine tablets
Standard Bleach
Demon Premier
