Enterprise Risk Management

We are using Lysol brand disinfectant wipes, but I would think that any good disinfectant would do the job - for that matter a simple bleach and water solution should be effective. 

I don't think the life span of the virus, outside of a host body, is all that long (I have read some articles indicating that 48 hours is the max life span of the virus outside of the body).

Erica,

My facilities folks say bleach and water is the best. Have you tried the CDC website?
