With community centres, restaurants, and other commercial venues slowly starting to continue operations, and schools/childcare settings gradually welcoming students, establishments are looking for various ways to effectively lessen the risk of transmission of the SARS-CoV-2 virus in their respective premises. Traditional cleaning methods, while effective, take more time and still pose a risk of exposure to the virus from the disinfection itself to waste disposal. Deep cleaning and decontamination services are advisable yet not cost-effective when done weekly or every other day.
One efficient way of keeping these areas regularly sanitised and safe is through the use of UVC Germicidal Lamps. UVC or Germicidal UV (commonly shortened to GUV) has been proven to be the most effective portion of the ultraviolet spectrum against infectious pathogens. In a position statement released last 12th of May, the International Commission on Illumination (CIE) stated that “GUV of 254 nm has been shown to be effective in disinfecting surfaces contaminated with the Ebola virus (Sagripanti and Lytle, 2011; Jinadatha et al., 2015; Tomas et al., 2015). Other studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of GUV during an influenza outbreak in the Livermore Veterans Hospital (Jordan, 1961).”
