The WHO and CDC are monitoring this virus. On May 23, 2022, EPA activated its Emerging Viral Pathogen policy to allow qualified registrants to make claims against Monkeypox and inform customers about disinfection of this virus. Monkeypox is a Tier I, enveloped virus. EPA has recently published their List Q to help inform customers about which products are effective against Monkeypox. As a registrant, if your product qualified for List N for COVID-19 claims, also a Tier I enveloped virus, you would qualify for List Q.
