Corona Oven maybe the solution
A device which claims to sterilize objects and kill Covid-19 virus in ten minutes using UVC light.
Corona Oven is compatible with solid surfaces of plastic, metal, leather and fabric. The first thing anyone learned about corona virus is that it is highly contagious and that it could survive on any surface for a period of time. This fear of surfaces or objects being infected with the virus has meant people are afraid to touch day-to-day objects such as lift buttons, door knobs, table counters, among other surfaces. Scores of videos went viral on WhatsApp informing people on how to sanitize or disinfect household deliveries and groceries by using soap and other cleansing products. Further, news of e-commerce and food delivery staff contracting the novel virus have only worsened the fear. You can’t just apply soap water or sanitizer to all the groceries.
You can’t actually do it on masks even if you wanted.
Where exposure to UV rays is not harmful According to a 2004 study by US FDA (Food and Drug Administration), Ultraviolet C, a type of ultraviolet energy of short wavelength, when exposed to a virus, penetrates its shell and makes a permanent alteration in its RNA structure. This alteration, in turn, makes the virus incapable of replicating in any live cell or causing any further infection.
This technology has the potential to remove the looming fear and suspicion of touching unknown objects and surfaces. It can be a solution to human transmission by disinfecting regular objects and carriers of the virus such as food, parcels, couriers, masks, etc. Its applications range from healthcare settings to household, commercial establishments, and warehouses.In healthcare settings such as hospitals, Corona Oven can be used to quickly decontaminate/sterilize medical equipment like N95 masks, eye goggles, face shields, etc. This also enables reuse or multiple time usage of these masks and helps front-line workers like doctors and nurses to remain infection-free, even when there is a shortage/unavailability of masks and PPEs.
The highly infectious nature of this virus along with its serious mobility and mortality among healthcare workers has brought into sharp focus the personal protection requirements. Enhanced PPE will be required in clinical encounter scenarios for all health care workers now and well into the future. Effective reuse of PPE will be the only way forward and sustainable methods such as UV-C based equipment will go a long way in meeting this need.” In homes, people can easily sterilize their groceries, utensils, water bottles, other home appliances and accessories. Corona Oven is compatible with solid surfaces of plastic, metal, leather and fabric.
The product comes in multiple variants in two categories- plug-in and portable. The plug-in version is priced at Rs 9,999 (20L) and Rs 12,999 (33L). The portable one which is battery-powered is available for Rs 17,999 (20L) and can be used effectively in an ambulance, police van or a grocery delivery van to disinfect parcels on the go.
