How does EPA know that the products on List N work on SARS-CoV-2?
EPA expects the products on List N to kill SARS-CoV-2, the coronavirus that causes COVID-19, because they:
- Demonstrate efficacy against the coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19);
- Demonstrate efficacy against a pathogen that is harder to kill than SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19); or
- Demonstrate efficacy against a different human coronavirus similar to SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19).
EPA expects all products on List N to be effective against all strains and variants of SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) when used according to label directions.
