Claim: Dettol kills Coronavirus. The company knew about the Coronavirus back in October 2019.
Fact-check: 'Coronavirus' mentioned on Dettol is previous strains of Coronavirus, not 2019-nCoV. - FACTLY
Verdict: the 'coronavirus' mentioned on dettol bottle is the previous strains of coronavirus, not the 2019 novel coronavirus . also, dettol manufacturer  has clarified that they do not yet have more details of the new virus and are not yet in a position to confirm levels of effectiveness against the new strain. hence the claim made in the post is misleading.
