Hiroshima University researchers found that using Ultraviolet C light with a 222 nm wavelength, which does not harm living cells in the human eye and skin, effectively kills the SARS-CoV-2. This is the first study in the world that proves its potency against the virus that causes Covid-19. Image: Hiroshima University.
