Title: UV-C irradiation is highly effective in inactivating SARS-CoV-2 replication Cord-id: 8mkltfr5 Document date: 2021_3_18
ID: 8mkltfr5
Snippet: The potential virucidal effects of UV-C irradiation on SARS-CoV-2 were experimentally evaluated for different illumination doses and virus concentrations (1000, 5, 0.05 MOI). At a virus density comparable to that observed in SARS-CoV-2 infection, an UV-C dose of just 3.7 mJ/cm(2) was sufficient to achieve a more than 3-log inactivation without any sign of viral replication. Moreover, a complete inactivation at all viral concentrations was observed with 16.9 mJ/cm(2). These results could explain

Moreover, a complete inactivation at all viral concentrations was observed with 16.9 mJ/cm(2). These results could explain the epidemiological trends of COVID-19 and are important for the development of novel sterilizing methods to contain SARS-CoV-2 infection.
