Treatments
effective against coronavirus include steam and
heat. The virus is susceptible to many active ingredients (AI), such as
sodium hypochlorite (0.1%–0.5%), 70% ethyl alcohol, povidone-iodine (1% iodine), chloroxylenol (0.24%), 50%
isopropanol, 0.05% benzalkonium chloride, 1% cresol soap, or hydrogen
peroxide (0.5%–7.0%), etc. Just like the WHO recommendations for Ebola virus
(RG4) disinfection, the environment with spills of blood or body fluids could
be cleaned up with 1:10 dilution of 5.25% household bleach for 10 minutes.

Preprocedural
mouth rinse: previous studies have shown that SARS-CoV
and MERS-CoV were highly susceptible to
povidone mouth rinse [25]. Therefore, preprocedural
mouth rinse with 0.2% povidone-iodine might reduce the load of
corona viruses in saliva [22,26]. Another alternative would be to use
0.5-1% hydrogen peroxide mouth rinse, as it has non specific virucidal
activity against corona viruses [27].
