One of the most important things you need to kill the coronavirus is still impossible to find
- Clorox disinfecting wipes continue to be in short supply, the company confirmed earlier this week.
- Demand for disinfecting products remains high since the novel coronavirus pandemic is still completely out of control.
- Clorox took several measures to increase the production of its popular disinfecting wipes and expects supply to meet demand sometime next year.
- Thankfully there are still tons of face masks, hand sanitizers, and other important coronavirus supplies available, and we told you where to get them earlier today.
With no end in sight for the novel coronavirus pandemic, everyone should continue to pull his or her weight and help with the global crisis. You don’t have to be a healthcare worker or a public health official to take action. What everyone can do is try to limit the spread through a few simple measures that have not changed since the first months of the crisis. Maintain a safe distance from other people, wear a face mask in crowded places (no, face masks can't hurt you and we just proved it), and practice good hand hygiene.
Of course, washing your hands often is only part of the efforts you need to make when it comes to cleaning. You should also clean and disinfect commonly used surfaces as regularly as possible to reduce the risk of fomite transmission. It’s well documented that the virus can survive for days on certain surfaces. While the risk of transmission isn’t as significant as sharing the same air with other people, it’s still a risk. But it turns out you may have a harder time finding some of the supplies you need to wipe down surfaces around you, as Clorox CEO Benno Dorer revealed earlier this week that disinfecting wipes supply will continue to be constrained through 2021.
