One scientist says UV light will be "very efficient" in eliminating the coronavirus.
New York City will be testing out ultraviolet lamps that can kill the coronavirus on subways and buses. The Metropolitan Transit Authority announced that the $1 million pilot program will begin its first phase on some subways, buses and other facilities early next week.
"As we've been saying, we're leaving no stone unturned when it comes to promoting and protecting public health," MTA Chairman and CEO Patrick J. Foye said at a news conference. "The UV light that will be used in the current overnight subway and bus disinfection program is very efficient in killing the virus that is responsible for COVID-19," Brenner said."What we are doing here is reducing the level of the virus in subways, and therefore decreasing the risk of anybody catching COVID-19 on the subway."
The MTA has been working with Puro since March to adapt their technology so it can be used in subways and buses.
