Re-purposing of domestic steam disinfectors within the Hospital-at-Home setting: Reconciliation of steam disinfector thermal performance against SARS- CoV-2 (COVID-19), norovirus and other viruses’ thermal susceptibilities

摘要

Highlights?Description of time/temperature thermal performance of a domestic steam-disinfector device is presented.?Thermal susceptibility of SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19), norovirus and other viruses is presented.?Knowing the thermal susceptibility of viruses and performance of device can help predict fate of viruses in such devices.
