Abstract
The effect of pulsed ultraviolet (UV) radiation of a continuous spectrum on the inactivation of the novel SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus on metal surfaces was studied. The ability of generators of pulsed UV radiation of a continuous spectrum to completely inactivate the causative agent of COVID-19 within 3 minutes (Alpha-06) and 6 minutes and 45 seconds (Alpha-09) of the installation was confirmed. It has been shown that the use of high-intensity pulsed UV radiation of a continuous spectrum in the general complex of sanitary and hygienic measures for a long time (5 months) allows the personnel of medical organizations, in particular, employees of the laboratory PCR centre, to be protected from the disease of the new coronavirus infection COVID-19.
