Is the spraying of aerosolized disinfectant onto humans effective in reducing the spread of COVID-19?

FDA does not recommend spraying humans with aerosolized disinfectant. There is currently no data to demonstrate that this method is effective in treating or reducing the spread of COVID-19. Surface disinfectants or sprays should not be used on humans or animals. They are intended for use on hard, non-porous surfaces.

CDC provides information regarding disinfectant practices for surfaces in the Reopening Guidance for Cleaning and Disinfecting Public Spaces, Workplaces, Businesses, Schools, and Homes.

What is the best household disinfectant for surfaces during COVID-19?
