In the battle to slow or prevent the transmission of viruses, such as the novel coronavirus, continuously active sterilization/disinfection could provide a new line of defence. Studies has shown that frequent sterilization/disinfection in public places or common shared areas are effective practices to prevent infectious disease i.e., covid-19. However, there are several steps in achieving effective sterilization. First, thorough cleaning is required before disinfection and sterilisation, because inorganic and organic materials that remain on the surfaces may interfere with the effectiveness of disinfection and sterilisation.
After cleaning, the surface would need to be disinfected to be free from bacteria or virus. Usually a chemical disinfectant can be used while in other cases, a mobile UVC lamp would be more appropriate to be employed – and these will destroy the cell wall of any microbes or pathogens that reside on the surfaces. The surfaces will reach 99.99% free of pathogens or microorganisms after this process.
The disinfection of high-contact surfaces is seen as an infection control practice to prevent the spread of pathogens by fomites. Unfortunately, recontamination of these surfaces can occur any time after the use of common disinfectants, especially in common shared areas i.e., door handle, lift button, lounge table etc. can be easily re-contaminated or re-infected when touched by any infected person and this made frequent repeated disinfection necessary and can be tedious and costly.
In order to achieve truly effective sterilization, innovative self-sterilization coatings i.e., BioShield® 75 or CHIRON-Eco can be applied to common surfaces and can the surface can stay self-sterilization for up to 6 months.
