For almost a yr scientists have known that SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, is inactivated by UV light in under 20 mins. A 2nd study showed that it was 3X more sensitive to Sunlight than influenza A, with the COVID virus becoming inactive within 30 mins under midday Summer Sun.

Now a new experiment shows that sunlight actually renders the COVID virus inactive 8X faster than the scientists initially predicted.

“*The findings suggest UVA emitters could be added to equipment such as air filtration systems to provide a cheap and energy-efficient means of reducing the spread of viral particles,*” it was reported.
