COVID-19 is currently ravaging through the world, infecting millions and killing many. So far, there is no cure or vaccine for the pandemic. Researchers and scientists from around the world are racing against time to find a cure that can save lives and put an end to the pandemic. There have been previous reports of the efficiency of ultravoilet (UV) light against the SARS-COV-2 virus. According to the leading health website, Health Europa, in the EU, UV rays are used as a form of disinfectant and has a range of 200 to 300 nanometres. Though using UV rays can be expensive, recent research shows that transport conductors can considerably bring down the cost.
The World Health Organization has warned people not to use UV light to disinfect their hands. Because exposure to UV rays can cause skin irritation and damage to the eyes. To clean hands, washing hands with soap and water or using an alcohol-based sanitizer is most effective.
