acidified to pH 2.5 by adding citric acid inactivated SARS-CoV-2
virus by more than 4 orders of magnitude in 5 min. After a contact
time of 15 min, no viral replication was detected. Aqueous
solutions of sodium percarbonate inactivated coronavirus by >3
log10 diminution in 15 min. Conversely, H2O2 solutions with no
additives displayed a scarce virucidal activity (1.1 log10 diminution
in 5 min), confirming that a pH-modifying ingredient is necessary
to have a H2O2-based disinfectant active against the novel
coronavirus.
