Know More About Coronavirus

COVID-19 or the Novel Coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) is an emerging virus belonging to the Coronavirus (CoV) family. This is a large family, which can cause a wide range of illnesses in humans: from mild common colds to deadly respiratory tract syndromes – Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS).

The information about this virus is now still limited. Scientists have been intensively studying since the first outbreak was reported. Recent studies suggest that 2019-nCoV belongs to the classification Betacoronavirus, which has been found to be genetically related to SARS CoV with a resemblance of 80%. Regarding its virulence and contagiousness – some experts say that, unlike SARS-CoV and MERS-CoV, the COVID-19 Virus ‘seems’ to be more contagious but less virulent than SARS.



What is Rely+On™ Virkon™?

The broad spectrum formulation of Rely+On™ Virkon™ is unique. No other disinfectant has the same powerful composition or extensive portfolio of performance and safety testing data. It combines application flexibility with broad spectrum efficacy, on hard surfaces, and in the face of organic challenge. These qualities make Rely+On™ Virkon™ the disinfectant of choice for use in medical facilities, pathology and biosafety containment laboratories, treatment salons and residential homes.

Rely+On™ Virkon™ has fewer handling and use constraints than many other disinfectant products and is not classified as harmful or a sensitiser in both powdered form and in-use dilutions, in accordance with EU legislation on the classification and labelling of chemical preparations.

Rely+On™ Virkon™ & Virkon™ S & Coronavirus

Both LANXESS Rely+On™ Virkon™ & Virkon™ S are scientifically formulated disinfectants containing the same active ingredient but, they have different efficacy datasets (against disease-causing pathogens) specifically targeted for use in two distinct disease prevention and control market segments.

Rely+On™ Virkon™ has been developed specifically for use in the Human Health market sector and, as such, has been tested and proven effective against disease-causing pathogens of specific concern to human health. It is used for the disinfection and decontamination of hard surfaces, floors, walls, doors and door handles, furniture, cabinets, centrifuges and pipette discard jars etc. in:
  • Medical Facilities (Hospitals and Doctors Surgeries)
  • Pathology and Biosafety Containment Laboratories
  • Treatment Salons
  • Residential Homes
  • Public Areas

With regard to the current global Coronavirus situation, independent tests have proven that Rely+On™ Virkon™ inactivates a closely related surrogate of the currently spreading coronavirus strain. From these tests it can be concluded that Rely+On™ Virkon™ would also be effective against SARS-CoV-2 which is causing the current COVID-19 epidemic at an in-use dilution rate of 1:100.

Conversely, Rely+On™ Virkon™ has not been tested against pathogens of 'animal origin' that affect animal health and as such, due to global product registrations and regulatory compliance, it cannot be used for routine biosecurity and emergency disease prevention and control measures in the livestock and poultry production market segments.

The same is true for Virkon™ S. It was developed specifically for the animal health, livestock and poultry production market segments where 'real-farm' conditions such as the environmental challenges of high organic loading, varying temperatures and weather conditions can have a direct effect on a disinfectants performance. Virkon™ S does have proven efficacy against ‘animal origin’ Coronaviruses however we would only recommend using Rely+On™ Virkon™ against SARS-CoV-2. Virkon™ S should not be used within Human Health facilities or on medical equipment or devices.

How to use Rely+On™ Virkon™?

Key structure destroys the microorganisms

Rely+On™ Virkon™ oxidizes key structures and compounds, such as proteins, leading to widespread, irreversible damage and subsequent deactivation/ destruction of the microorganism. There is no evidence to suggest that bacterial disease-causing organisms develop resistance towards Rely+On™ Virkon™ as opposed to some other disinfectant types.

Hard Surface & Equipment Cleaning & Disinfection

The level of disease-causing organisms present after general cleaning can remain high enough to offer a serious disease challenge to patients and staff. Using a disinfectant proven to be effective against viruses, bacteria and fungi, such as Rely+On™ Virkon™, is essential.

Easy to prepare

Readily soluble in warm tap water, Rely+On™ Virkon™ dissolves into a pink solution, which remains stable for up to 5 days, as a 1:100 solution. Consult your local representative for advice on stability for any alternate strength solutions.
