It seems that SARS-CoV-2 is sensitive to ultraviolet rays as well as to a temperature of 56°C for 30 minutes; ether, 75% ethanol, chlorine-based disinfectants, peracetic acid, chloroform, and other fatty solvents, but not chlorhexidine, can effectively inactivate the virus.
Imeripotiwa kwamba SARS-CoV-2 huathirika pakubwa na miale ya utraviolet na nyuzi joto ya 56 °C kwa dakika 30; ether, 75% ya ethanol, kisafishaji kilicho na klorini, asidi ya peracetic, chloroform na vimumunyisho vingine vya mafuta, lakini sio chlorhexidine, vinaweza kulemaza virusi hivi kwa ufanisi.
