Lysol Disinfectant Spray has been approved to protect against COVID-19 by the Environmental Protection Agency. The spray and Lysol Disinfectant Max Cover Mist are the first two products to gain such recognition. While there are more than 420 products on the list of disinfectants that the EPA says are strong enough to ward off “harder-to-kill” viruses than the novel coronavirus, the two Lysol products are the first to have been tested directly against the virus and proved effective. Lysol said in a statement it is currently working on testing the efficacy of other disinfectant products against COVID-19. “In the face of the pandemic, Lysol continues to work with a wide range of scientific and health experts to educate the public on the importance of hygiene,” said Rahul Kadyan, executive vice president of Lysol’s parent company.
