Health & ScienceScientists claim that coronavirus could be killed by a handheld UV light deviceWith coronavirus cases around the world now at over 6.2 million, scientists have been working around the clock to find a way to halt the pandemic. Now, scientists at Penn University, the University of Minnesota and two Japanese universities claim that coronavirus could be killed by a handheld UV light device. Instead, the researchers say that a handheld device with the same UV levels could be the perfect solution for keeping the public protected while on the go.
