Proper disinfection using adequate disinfecting agents will be necessary for infection control strategies against coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). However, limited guidance exists on effective surface disinfectants or best practices for their use against severe acute respiratory coronavirus 2. We outlined a process of fully characterizing over 350 products on the Environmental Protection Agency List N, including pH, method of delivery, indication for equipment sterilization, and purchase availability. We then developed a streamlined set of guidelines to help rapidly evaluate and select suitable disinfectants from List N, including practicality, efficacy, safety, and cost/availability. This resource guides the evaluation of ideal disinfectants amidst practical considerations posed by the COVID-19 pandemic.
使用适当的消毒剂进行正确消毒对于针对2019冠状病毒病（COVID-19）的感染控制策略至关重要。然而，关于有效的表面消毒剂或针对严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2使用它们的最佳做法的指导有限。我们概述了一个对美国环境保护局N类清单上350多种产品进行全面表征的过程，包括pH值、递送方法、设备灭菌指示和购买可用性。然后，我们制定了一套简化的指南，以帮助从N类清单中快速评估和选择合适的消毒剂，包括实用性、有效性、安全性以及成本/可用性。该资源在COVID-19大流行带来的实际考虑因素中指导对理想消毒剂的评估。
