Do you mean, 70% isoprophyl alcohol? If so, yes.

Answer

First of all, viruses are not 'alive' as such, unlike bacteria. 70% denatured alcohol will reduce the potency of most viruses if left in contact for a few seconds but will not completely 'kill' the virus. Using alcohol washes and hand rubs are beneficial in reducing virus contamination.
