An influenza A virus (H3N2) with an envelope the same structure as COVID-19 was used for antiviral testing of material surfaces, in comparison some results feline calicivirus. The evaluation method film adhesion method, which solution is placed on and adhered to it using a film. based film, plaque cell allowed infect form plaques, but appropriate concentration must be adjusted observe plaques. When not under that restriction, plaques are often incomplete; this observed. For reason, study applied area measurement can reflect viral activity even when obtained. This revealed different types metallic materials have properties. Specifically, iron, carbon steel, nickel relatively high, while stainless steel titanium low. order follows: Fe, SS400, Ni, SUS316L, SUS304, Ti.
