Can home UV disinfection kill the new coronavirus?

  Novel coronaviruses are sensitive to organic solvents and disinfectants; 75% ethanol, ether, chloroform, formaldehyde, chlorinated disinfectants, peroxyacetic acid, and UV light can inactivate the virus. Therefore, UV lamp disinfection has a role in eliminating novel coronaviruses.  However, those who use household UV disinfection tools should note that UV disinfection tools should be used strictly according to the instructions for safe use, and the disinfection process should ensure that people and pets, etc. leave the disinfection room to avoid UV damage to the skin and eyes. The disinfection time should not be too long, and attention should be paid to indoor ventilation after disinfection.
