Enterovirus infect: This is often due to Coxsackievirus A16 or other enteroviruses, and although Lysol wipes may diminish the risk, this virus is easily spread. through close personal contact, the air (through coughing or sneezing), contact with feces, contaminated objects and surfaces. The best prevention is to not be near or in contact with an infected person.
