Details

Public Health England (PHE) has undertaken assessments of inactivation methods against SARS-CoV-2.

Included here are a series of individual interim inactivation reports with further evaluations ongoing.

These reports will be useful for COVID-19 testing laboratories developing workflows that include an inactivation step and will aid the generation of suitable and sufficient risk assessments.

These assessments are now published by UK Health Security Agency.
