Popis:	Surface residing SARS-CoV-2 is efficiently inactivated by UV-C irradiation. This raises the question whether UV-C-based technologies are also suitable to decontaminate SARS-CoV-2- containing aerosols and which doses are needed to achieve inactivation. Here, we designed a test bench to generate aerosolized SARS-CoV-2 and exposed the aerosols to a defined UV-C dose. Our results demonstrate that the exposure of aerosolized SARS-CoV-2 with a low average dose in the order of 0.42-0.51 mJ/cm
