SYDNEY, Jan 23, 2020 - (ACN Newswire) - Australian researcher
Steven Kritzler says his new Evocide disinfectant is able to stop
the spread of virus, such as the present outbreak in Wuhan City,
China. This new strain of Coronavirus is a SARS-like virus that has
caused hundreds of infections in China, and has spread to Thailand,
Japan and South Korea. Symptoms include fever, cough or chest
tightness, and difficulty breathing.
"Both the Wuhan virus, known as 2019-nCoV, and SARS belong to the
family of viruses known as Coronaviridae, which are not strong and
can be deactivated by many materials," says Kritzler, who is based
at Novapharm Research near Sydney, and is a committee member of the
Australian Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA).
Kritzler garnered attention at the Hong Kong Symposium on Advanced
Infection Control in November when he presented his new Evocide
Extra disinfectant. "Coronavirus is a type of enveloped virus -- a
virus that develops viruses. My formulation can deactivate any
virus, including enveloped and non-enveloped viruses."
"Coronavirus is microscopic, hence face masks alone cannot
effectively prevent spreading the virus. I suggest that the best
way to protect from spreading the virus is to wash your hands
regularly, for example when you touch the door handle. And remember
to use the disinfectants in time," says Kritzler.
Southern Cross Paper is another formulation by Kritzler. He
explains these bio-degradable, eco-friendly paper wipes can
deactivate viruses such as rabies virus, HIV (human
immunodeficiency virus), hand-foot-mouth virus (EV71), influenza A
(H1N1) and measles virus, and can kill 99.999% bacterial and fungal
pathogens including super bacteria.
The Chinese Spring Festival holiday begins later this week,
increasing the risk of spread of the new virus. The holiday period
typically sees hundreds of millions of Chinese traveling throughout
the country and overseas.
