The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has found Lysol Disinfectant Spray and Lysol Disinfectant Max Cover Mist to be effective against the coronavirus. The Lysol products have now been authorized by the EPA to claim that they can kill SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19.

"EPA is committed to identifying new tools and providing accurate and up-to-date information to help the American public protect themselves and their families from the novel coronavirus," said EPA Administrator Andrew Wheeler in a statement.

"EPA's review of products tested against this virus marks an important milestone in President Trump's all of government approach to fighting the spread of COVID-19."

The Lysol Disinfectant Spray and Lysol Disinfectant Max Cover Mist are the first products to be approved by EPA and added to List N, which is the list of products found to be effective against the novel coronavirus in a laboratory setting.

According to Lysol, the disinfectant spray kills 99.9 percent of fungi, viruses, and bacteria, kills cold and flu viruses, disinfects hundreds of surfaces in your home, sanitizes soft surfaces, prevents mold and mildew from growing for up to a week, and eliminates odors at the source.
