Although surfactant disinfectants are generally considered to have virucidal activity against all lipid enveloped viruses, some authors claim their inefficiency against SARS-CoV-2 (as it happens for non-enveloped viruses). Despite its importance, this question remains unanswered over time. I would like to exchange scientific opinions and evidence on this important topic.
Pietro Emanuele Napoli If the characteristics are those of the other viruses, I think not. Certainly the necessary checks will be necessary for a response on a scientific basis.
Is this of any help?:

Dear all, I think if the envelop is destroyed by the surfactant, also the core of the virus will be solublized simultaneously. My Regards
