Anti-bacterial wipes

Just discussing Covid19 with my wife's nurse. She said wipe surfaces with anti-bacterial wipes. I didn't want to disagree with her, but as far as I know they're fine for killing bacteria, but not for virus such as C19. What's the answer peeps?
Thanks very much

Most antibacterials will also inactivate most viruses. (Though antibiotics famously won't)
It's usually easy enough to find out what the active ingredient is and look on-line to see if t has been tested against covid.

When a patient is recovering from covid-19, bacterial infection can be more serious, sometimes deadly.
