Disinfection chain: A novel method for cheap reusable and chemical free disinfection of public places from SARS-CoV-2

Recently, Governments of several countries are taking steps to unlock their countries from the lockdown state to avoid the adverse effect on economy. Disinfection chains of Ultraviolet (UV)-C lamps supported by holding stands have been placed between the space of object columns for exposure-based disinfection. These chains can be folded easily for carrying purpose. Also, the length of the system can be varied depending upon the requirement. This simple system may be used for cheap, reusable and chemical free disinfection of public places. This system is also suitable to destroy the airborne viruses. But the process of disinfection must be performed in absence of human to avoid the harmful effect of UV rays on skin. (C) 2021 ISA. Published by Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
