Supernova providing immediate germ protection against Ebola virus.

The World Health Organisation have reported that the total number of probable, confirmed and suspected cases in the current outbreak of Ebola virus disease (EVD) in West Africa is 4,269, with 2,288 deaths, as of the 6th September 2014.

Countries affected to date are Guinea, Liberia, Nigeria, Senegal and Sierra Leone. In the past three weeks, cases have dramatically increased, with widespread and intense transmission, both inland and in the capitals. This highlights the urgent need to reinforce control measures and increase capacity for case management, safe burials, contact tracing, and social mobilization.

Ebola is spread through human to human transmission with infection resulting from direct contact, through broken skin or mucous membranes with bodily fluids of infected people, and indirect contact with environments contaminated with such fluids. Managing the spread of infection from hands and surfaces is therefore a vitally important part in preventing the spread of this deadly disease.

Supernova, hand and surface germ protection products have been independently proven effective against the Ebola virus. Supernova is a unique alcohol free solution, which is proven powerfully effective against spores and non enveloped viruses, yet still gentle enough to be used on hands and surfaces safely, no mixing of chemicals or activation of wipes is required simply grab Supernova and go. The alcohol free formulation also means there are no religious implications, substance abuse issues and Supernova will not irritate the skin.

Supernova is already employed in Africa and is being used to minimize the risk to life through instant infection control and by delivering a long lasting residual disinfection long after hands and surfaces have dried.

Supernova provides active protection against a wide range of pathogens including Ebola. Providing a safe sanitising solution in areas where soap and clean water are not available or when a higher level of hand or surface sanitisation is required.
