COVID-19 Information & Resources
COVID-19 Information & Resources
CoronaVIrus Disease of 2019 (COVID-19) is a respiratory virus that spreads through respiratory droplets. These droplets are released when an infected person coughs or sneezes; they are inhaled or ingested by non-infected individuals who then become infected with the virus. There is no existing vaccine against COVID-19. The best way to not get sick is to practice prevention. Hand washing, social distancing, and more information is available here. There are additional resources available from the CDC.
COVID-19 and Pets
COVID-19 and Pets
A message from CDC: There is no reason at this time to think that any animals, including pets, in the United States might be a source of infection with this new coronavirus that causes COVID-19. To date, CDC has not received any reports of pets or other animals becoming sick with COVID-19 in the United States.

It needs to sit for a specified period of time (specific to each product) to kill viruses first.

Critical Information About Safe Disinfectant Use Provided by the EPA
Chemicals in disinfecting products can create toxic acids or gases if not handled correctly. When disinfecting, rules must also be followed to ensure the best effectiveness of the product.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has proposed the following guidelines to ensure the safe use of EPA-registered surface disinfectants:
- Always follow the product’s directions
- Never apply the product to yourself or others. Do not ingest disinfectant products. This includes never applying any product on List N (the agency’s list of disinfectants to use against SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19) directly to food.
- Never mix products unless specified in the use directions. Certain combinations of chemicals will create highly toxic acids or gases.
- Wash the surface with soap and water before applying disinfectant products if the label mentions pre-cleaning.
- Follow the contact time listed for your product on List N. This is the amount of time the surface must remain visibly wet to ensure efficacy against the virus. It can sometimes be several minutes.
- Wash your hands after using a disinfectant. This will minimize your exposure to the chemicals in the disinfectant and the pathogen you are trying to kill.
