(CNN) — The US Environmental Protection Agency is arming consumers with a list of disinfectants that people can use to protect themselves from the novel coronavirus.

Here are some of the registered disinfectants on the EPA’s list:

Clorox Multi Surface Cleaner + Bleach

Clorox Commercial Solutions® Clorox® Disinfecting Spray
Lysol brand Heavy-Duty Cleaner Disinfectant Concentrate

Lysol brand Clean & Fresh Multi-Surface Cleaner
