Scientists Aim UVC Light to Stop Spread of SARS-CoV-2 Indoors
BARCELONA, July 10, 2020 — Experts in the fields of virology, immunology, aerosols, architecture, and physics surveyed the possible methods to prevent SARS-CoV-2 propagation in indoor spaces. Based on the survey results, they recommend the use of UVC light as a short-term, easily deployable, affordable way to limit virus spread in the current pandemic. The study, published in ACS Nano, was undertaken by scientists at the Institute of Photonic Sciences (ICFO), the University of the Basque Country, Technion - Israel
