Fearing the spread of coronavirus, hand sanitizers and damp paper with antibacterial effects are some of the most sought after products in pharmacies and stores, hard to find anymore. Part of them, on the back, are said to have positive effects against coronavirus, which may be a little suspicious of the fact that it has been a few months since coronavirus spread.
At this point, we need to point out that coronaviruses are a family of viruses, with Covid-19 being their specific genus.
They generally have similar characteristics, though it is unclear what really protects us from Covid-19 because it has not yet been fully studied.
The World Health Organization has called for you to use hand sanitizers because Covid-19 has an 80% similarity to the SARS virus, where the disinfectants had an effect.
So there is evidence that disinfectants kill coronavirus, though not necessarily Covid-19. Of course, as we said above, as long as it has features similar to other viruses, it's not harmful to use them.
