Abstract
Using the Murine Hepatitis Virus (MHV) A59 coronavirus as a SARS-CoV-2 animal surrogate, we validated that methylene blue (MB) in combination with sunlight exposure is a robust, fast, and low-cost decontamination method for PPE that should be added to the toolbox of practical pandemic preparedness.
Keywords: Decontamination; Murine hapatitis virus; Next generation sequencing; Pandemic preparedness; Photochemistry.
