How Do Betco Disinfectants Eradicate COVID-19? Breaking through the exterior protein shell encapsulating COVID-19 viruses requires using special disinfectants that initiate a rapid cascade of chemical reactions within the virus. Once a disinfectant infiltrates coronavirus' genetic material, it destroys the viral genome and eliminates the ability of the virus to hijack a host cell. Molecular docking studies have recently shown that citrus flavonoids provide powerful inhibitory properties against viral infections and replications. How Long Can Coronavirus Survive on Nonporous Surfaces? A study conducted in January 2021 provides the most recent data regarding COVID-19 survivability on glass, vinyl, stainless steel and other nonporous surfaces. After 28 days of introducing coronavirus to nonporous surfaces, scientists found the virus remained detectable and viable. Alternately, COVID-19 was found to have less than a 24-hour survival time when introduced to cardboard surfaces
