I was also thinking that since UV light can kill 99.9% of viruses we can utilize this at our borders to help sanitize shipments, currency or even surfaces to reduce the spread of the pathogen. The Far-UV spectrum has been shown to kill airborne viruses while being safe for humans. Perhaps we can utilize this in our sanitation regiment to combat the spread of this disease.
