MYTH: The plywood kills the Covid-19 virus. 

TRUTH: Coronavirus or its surrogates are not available for testing due to the category of viruses and the test results indicate the effectiveness of the surfaces against the virus. However, the viruses on which the tests are conducted are single-stranded RNA viruses, which is close to the COVID-19 category of viruses and so the test results indicate the effectiveness of the surfaces against such viruses.

The solution has an extremely low surface energy value and behaves as an omni-phobic surface which kills 99.9% of the viruses.
