Mary Sue,
a reference to something else I found:

"If a virus has established, some practices will help to prevent spreading
and minimise the damage. Control insects if these are a vector. Wash hands
in soapy water and dip knives in trisodium phosphate, Virkon, or milk
containing at least 3.5% proteins. The milk must be renewed daily. For all
work in the crop, always go in one direction. Have large shoe disinfection
trays at the entrance of your property and at every greenhouse entrance.
Make enough time for the big clean-up after ending the crop."
regards,
