Direct contact and airborne spread are main mechanisms of transmission for SARS-CoV-2, and virus can stay viable for at least 3 hours in aerosols. Initus-V system uses a Far-ultraviolet C (UVC) system, UVC resistant textile and googles to provide virus, bacteria and spore free environments in hospitals, crowded public places and travel environments. Initus-V system may help in prevention of epidemic diseases such as Coronavirus disease-19 (Covid-19), influenza, treatment of airborne viral diseases and spread of hospital-borne resistant infections.
