In this study we evaluated the antiviral activity of the Silver Barrier® disinfectant against SARSCoV-2. Silver Barrier® showed time- and concentration-dependent antiviral activity against SARSCoV-2. After 5 min contact time, Silver Barrier® at 0.002% showed a strong inhibitory effect (p<0.001), with a 2-fold reduction of viral genome copy numbers, and a robust suppression (94%) of SARS-CoV-2 infectivity. Considering the effects obtained in solution and within a very short time, Silver Barrier® stands as an excellent new candidate for the disinfection of work environments, especially at the healthcare level, where there are people at high risk of serious illnesses.

Abstract

In this study we evaluated the antiviral activity of the Silver Barrier® disinfectant against SARSCoV-2. Silver Barrier® showed time- and concentration-dependent antiviral activity against SARSCoV-2. After 5 min contact time, Silver Barrier® at 0.002% showed a strong inhibitory effect (p<0.001), with a 2-fold reduction of viral genome copy numbers, and a robust suppression (94%) of SARS-CoV-2 infectivity. Considering the effects obtained in solution and within a very short time, Silver Barrier® stands as an excellent new candidate for the disinfection of work environments, especially at the healthcare level, where there are people at high risk of serious illnesses.
