Tel Aviv research: 99.9% of COVID-19 virus dead in 30 seconds with UV LEDs

Researchers from Tel Aviv University have proven that the novel coronavirus can be killed efficiently, quickly and cheaply using ultraviolet (UV) light-emitting diodes (UV-LEDs) at specific frequencies.

She said that the UV-LED bulbs require less than half a minute to destroy more than 99.9% of the coronaviruses.

The study, published earlier this month in the Journal of Photochemistry and Photobiology B: Biology,  is the first of its kind in the world.
