Possibility of using ultraviolet radiation for disinfecting the novel COVID-19

The world health organization (WHO) declared novel COVID-19 as a pandemic in March 2020 and as of now has infected hundreds of millions of people across the globe. Here in this report, we propose the importance of light-based technologies in disinfecting the novel COVID-19, present on the surface of...

description The world health organization (WHO) declared novel COVID-19 as a pandemic in March 2020 and as of now has infected hundreds of millions of people across the globe. Here in this report, we propose the importance of light-based technologies in disinfecting the novel COVID-19, present on the surface of phone, plastic surfaces, wallets, watches, cloths. This article identifies the benefits of repurposing ultraviolet light-based strategies to combat the emergence of COVID-19 pandemic. A possible design for the ultraviolet irradiation is also proposed and discussed in short.
