will UV clean surfaces?
Yes but it’s dangerous to humans and pets.
Notice those military bases are in large population cities. Sure, let them out of quarantine in 14 days instead of 24 and you’ve successfully wiped out the US. CA has already let one evacuee out only to find out he did have it.
UV will kill virus on relatively clean surfaces. If there is debris on the surface, it will shield the virus. So if, for example, there is a hunk of mucous on the surface, you will need something in addition to the UV to kill it. I would go with a hospital disinfectant to sanitize and clean the surface.
‘will UV clean surfaces?’
Don’t know; but I’ve read that the virus stays active on any surface for 5 days.
Yes - UV light works to destroy the virus. (But no - it doesn’t “clean” the surfaces.) It only destroys viruses that are exposed to the UV light. Need to wear UV goggles and cover exposed skin.
