Clinell products kill coronavirus
Our Clinell Universal are proven to kill the COVID-19 coronavirus in 30 seconds. Tested against the actual coronavirus that causes COVID-19, not surrogates.
Prevention over treatment
There’s no specific treatment for coronavirus, which means prevention is vital. We can’t treat the infection, but we can kill the virus.
What is 'COVID-19?'
COVID-19 is the new official name for the disease caused by the coronavirus first described in late 2019. The name comes from (COronaVIrus Disease 2019). This novel coronavirus causes symptoms very similar to pneumonia. Unfortunately, because it's caused by a virus, it can't be treated by antibiotics.
The virus itself has been named SARS-CoV-2 (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome coronavirus 2), because of genetic similarities to the virus that caused SARS in 2003.
Previously, it was known as ‘2019 novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV).’
How does it spread?
We know this new strain of coronavirus spreads from human to human. Like other coronaviruses, evidence suggests that it spreads through a mix of direct contact and via droplets released when coughing and sneezing. Although reports now suggest that transmission might happen even if the infected person doesn't have any symptoms.
Coronavirus contaminates surfaces
We know that infectious human coronaviruses are found in our everyday environments. If the conditions are right, they can persist for days!
