COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2) is causing a huge concern to the global population due to
its highly contagious properties. The SARS-CoV-2 is a new variant in the
coronavirus family. The world is focussing on several methods to battle against
this novel corona virus, including control of its spread. In this context, ARCI
has quickly made efforts to develop disinfection systems including a UVC-based
disinfection trolley, honeycomb air heater and a fogging chamber using UVC
germicidal lamps, dry heat sterilization and HOCl-based chemical disinfectant to
provide rapid and effective inactivation of microorganisms causing the pandemic.
These systems have been successfully deployed at different hospitals for their
validation.
