Disinfection efficacy of Oxivir TB wipe residue on severe acute respiratory coronavirus virus 2 (SARS-CoV-2)

We assessed Oxivir Tb wipe disinfectant residue in a controlled laboratory setting to evaluate low environmental contamination of SARS-CoV-2. Frequency of viral RNA detection was not statistically different between intervention and control arms on day 3 (P=0.14). Environmental contamination viability is low; residual disinfectant did not significantly contribute to low contamination.

Automated summary

We conducted a study in a controlled laboratory setting to evaluate the low environmental contamination of SARS-CoV-2 by assessing the residue of Oxivir Tb wipe disinfectant. There was no statistically significant difference in the frequency of viral RNA detection between the intervention and control groups on day 3 (P=0.14). The viability of environmental contamination is low, and residual disinfectant does not significantly contribute to the low contamination.
