FINDINGS: Concentrations of EtOH and IPA from 62% to 80% were very efficient at inactivating high numbers of HCoV dried on tile surfaces even with a 15 sec contact time. CONCLUSIONS: EtOH, IPA, and SH at multiple concentrations efficiently inactivated infectious virus on hard surfaces, typical of those found in public places. Interestingly, at the highest concentrations tested, 95% EtOH and 95% IPA, we observed significant reductions in inactivating, with some contact times producing less than a 2 log 10 reduction of infectious virus. Our studies demonstrate that EtOH and IPA at concentrations ranging from 62% to 80% are highly effective at inactivating HCoV on tile surfaces even with contact times as low as 15 sec. ./cache/cord-311012-wyglrpqh.txt ./txt/cord-311012-wyglrpqh.txt
