Abstract
As a means of preventing airborne transmission of SARS-CoV-2, we advocate the immediate installation of the safe and proven upper room 254nm UVGI in indoor public spaces with low air changes per hour and/or recirculated air. We further believe that if the on-going research into the new 222nm UVGI continues to demonstrate its safety, then this technology should be adopted as it will work continuously to inactivate viruses and bacteria in the air we breathe and on surfaces we touch.
