Can UVC Kill the Coronavirus?

Ultraviolet C (UVC) devices are among a long list of products in the market that carry claims of being able to kill coronaviruses and other pathogens. We take a deeper look at how UVC works in disinfection, and whether it is advisable to use them in homes, workplaces or businesses to prevent the spread of COVID-19. 

For expert guidance on the safe use of UVC devices and other disinfection methods, read more at WHO, FDA, CDC and EPA.
