Hi,
Alcohol destroys the coronavirus by attacking the envelope structure of the virus through a process called denaturation.
Denaturation occurs when the alcohol molecules bond with the fat membrane that encases a virus or bacteria cell. When this happens, the fat membrane is broken down and the inside of the cell with all of its critical components becomes exposed, and as a result, it starts to dissolve, and the cell quickly dies.
The US Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends an alcohol concentration of between 60 and 90 percent for disinfection purposes.
