Possibility of using ultraviolet radiation for disinfecting the novel COVID-19

The world health organization (WHO) declared novel COVID-19 as a pandemic in March 2020 and as of now has infected hundreds of millions of people across the globe. Here in this report, we propose the importance of lightbased technologies in disinfecting the novel COVID-19, present on the surface of phone, plastic surfaces, wallets, watches, cloths. This article identifies the benefits of repurposing ultraviolet light-based strategies to combat the emergence of COVID-19 pandemic. A possible design for the ultraviolet irradiation is also proposed and discussed in short.
