Prevention

handwashing

The number one CDC recommendation to prevent infection is frequent handwashing with soap and water for 20-30 seconds. If soap and water is not available, hand sanitizers are also useful.

Cleaning Procedures and Chemicals

The EPA says that registered influenza A virus products will be effective against the 2009-H1N1 (swine flu) and other influenza A virus strains

On 5/1/09 we received an email from Envirox stating that "EPA believes, based on available scientific information, that the currently registered influenza A virus products will be effective against the 2009-H1N1 flu strain
and other influenza A virus strains.

We suggest that you use disinfectants and virucides with kill claims against “like” viruses such as Influenza A, Avian Influenza and other Porcine viruses as part of your regular procedures.

Buckeye Quats and Envirox H2Orange2 117, Concentrate 118 and Critical Care have these claims.

For safe and effective use of these products, always follow the label instructions, paying special attention to the product's dilution rate (if applicable) and contact time.
