Abstract: The novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) is contaminating individuals and spreading effectively from individual to individual. The infection has spread to almost all the countries in the world. To slow the expanding worldwide spread of the SARS- CoV-2 infection, proper disinfection procedures are required. Ultraviolet radiation (UV) technology has a notable antiviral impact. UVC is another part of the range comprised of a shorter, more vivacious frequency of light. It is especially acceptable at decimating hereditary material – regardless of whether in people or viral particles. This paper discusses utilizing UV frameworks for its disinfection as a possible adjunctive methodology for patients experiencing extreme COVID 19 diseases and the idea of Ultraviolet germicidal illumination (UVGI) to make the N95 mask reusable. This paper also discusses various kind of techniques for how UV light can be used to fight against COVID-19 diseases. It can ensure that we can avoid liquid damages by using UV techniques.

Keywords: Ultra-violate technology, Coronavirus 2, 4-log virus inactivation, N95 face mask.
