OK for bacteria. but viruses can't replicate except in cells, so they just sit on the surface until they croak or until we spritz them with something that will dissolve the lipoid capsule. Monona

You can incorporate anti-microbial elements such as copper and silver into a polymer matrix. These polymers are classified as anti-fouling and some are registered with the EPA. Antifouling polymers keep organisms from growing on the coated
object. However, their effect is more along the lines of keeping bacteria off your boat. There are teams working on the elusive self-disinfecting surface that we'd like to have had back in January.
All of the companies that make this type of products have some sort of disclaimer. See the links below for examples.
