TOMI’s SteraMist Preparedness for Aiding in the new Coronavirus-Wuhan or 2019-nCoV Outbreak


BEVERLY HILLS, Calif., Jan. 29, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- TOMI Environmental Solutions, Inc.® (“TOMI”) (OTCQB:TOMZ), is a global company specializing in disinfection and decontamination, utilizing its premier Binary Ionization Technology (BIT) platform through its SteraMist products - a hydrogen peroxide-based mist and fog composed of ionized Hydrogen Peroxide (iHP). SteraMist iHP technology has been deployed in the fight against EBOLA in West Africa, MERS in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and South Korea, and is now ready to be easily deployed throughout the world to aid in the fight against coronavirus-Wuhan (2019-nCoV) and other emerging pandemic risks.

With thousands of confirmed cases of the respiratory infection already noted worldwide, health officials have confirmed at least five (5) cases of coronavirus-Wuhan (2019-nCoV) in the United States. This virus could become our next pandemic.

Similar to Influenza A, SARS, and MERS, coronavirus is an enveloped virus. While this would often serve to protect the virus from possible threats, SteraMist features efficacy against Influenza A, SARS, MERS and similar, enveloped viral threats including coronavirus-Wuhan (2019-nCoV). TOMI has multiple EPA-accepted studies on the current label to meet the standard to respond to emerging pathogens in the enveloped and non-enveloped categories, which includes the current coronavirus-Wuhan (2019-nCoV) outbreak.

TOMI Environmental Solutions has partners throughout the globe standing by to rapidly deploy and aid in reducing the spread of this coronavirus-Wuhan (2019-nCoV) using SteraMist disinfection and decontamination. Companies in biological disaster management and emerging disease organizations throughout the world make up a strong, growing list of TOMI premier partners.

TOMI CEO, Dr. Halden Shane, states that “SteraMist has proven success against emerging pathogens and we remain confident in the ability of our technology to reduce the viral duplication in the air and on surfaces of all indoor environments in the fight against this novel coronavirus-Wuhan (2019-nCoV) threat. TOMI is working alongside many of our premier partners throughout Asia and, if needed, the world to bring SteraMist to those in need of the most effective disinfectant and decontaminant to fight coronavirus-Wuhan (2019-nCoV).”
