Abstract
Since SARS-CoV-2 is able to survive on inanimate surfaces, we analysed samples of several healthcare settings, to carry out a disinfection protocol assessment. Despite the accuracy of strategies set up to increase the effectiveness of the study, none of the samples showed the presence of viral specific RNA fragments.
Highlights
In this study, we evaluated the effectiveness of cleaning and disinfection procedures to eradicate the presence of the virus and minimize the appearance of new sources of infection
