"Hypochlorous acid water" Notify not to spray in a space with children Ministry of Education June 5, 20:18

The Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology has not confirmed the effectiveness of the "hypochlorous acid water" that is used in schools for the purpose of disinfecting new coronaviruses. I notified the Board of Education and others not to do this.

The notice states that when disinfecting school items, it has been shown to be effective against the novel coronavirus, including disinfectant ethanol, sodium hypochlorite disinfectant, and some household detergents. I want to use detergent.

On the other hand, the "hypochlorous acid water" used in some schools is different from the sodium hypochlorite disinfectant solution, and its effectiveness has not been sufficiently confirmed. Due to health considerations, we ask that you do not spray it at the site.

The Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology says, "I want you to respond appropriately depending on the location and situation."
