Copper Inactivates the Virus that Causes COVID-19 in One Minute

Professor C. W. Keevil of the University of Southampton is the senior author of a important paper on the rapid inactivation of SARS-CoV-2 on copper surfaces.  This paper reports that SARS-CoV-2, the cause of the current COVID-19 pandemic, is inactivated in as little as one minute by copper alloy C110 (99.90% Cu).  

 

The paper that was published on January 2, 2021, in bioRxiv, a rapid publication service with only editor's approval.  This fast method of publishing was selected in order to communicate the ability of copper to quickly inactivate this virus in a timely manner.  Readers are encouraged to recommend that copper alloys be deployed in the fight against COVID-19.

 

In addition, a new paper containing these findings and results will be submitted to another journal to undergo the more rigorous peer review process.

Experts on copper and microbiology recommend the expanded use of copper alloys
in public spaces to reduce the spread of COVID-19 and minimize future pandemics

CAN COPPER HELP FIGHT COVID-19?
