News from Metrex on Disinfectants approved for Use against SARS-CoV-2 Virus:

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has approved all eight surface disinfectant products made by an infection prevention leader, Metrex, as effective against SARS-CoV-2, the novel coronavirus that causes COVID-19. The new claim was approved based on third-party laboratory testing results that support Metrex’s portfolio of broad-spectrum surface disinfectants to be effective against SARS-CoV-2 according to EPA Product Performance Test Guidelines Disinfectants for Use on Environmental Surfaces, Guidance for Efficacy Testing (OCSPP 810.2200).“Healthcare professionals find themselves working in rapidly-evolving and complex conditions that have increased the demands of infection control,” said James Chia, Director of Research and Development at Metrex. “The below Metrex’s surface disinfection products are effective against SARS-CoV-2, helping to give front-line workers peace of mind that our products are protecting their patients and themselves.”
