Popis: – The novel corona virus that causes coronavirus disease 2019 or also called COVID-19 is a kind of positive-sense single-stranded RNV virus, same as the SARS and MERS virus. This is a highly infectious disease and spreads rapidly in the community worldwide. On 30 January 2020, Coronavirus outbreak was declared a Public Health Emergency of International Concern. In this pandemic situation where the novel corona virus continuously spreading day by day worldwide, the researcher are focused on finding new ways to destroy the coronavirus. Because airborne transmission appears to plays an important role in the spread of coronavirus, UV light would be able to destroy the novel corona virus when exposure to UVC irradiation stronger than 90 µW/cm2. Devices using UV light, emits high-intensity rays could help to kill the novel coronavirus. In order to kill the novel corona virus, very high levels of ultraviolet light is required ranges from 200 to 300 nanometer. In this paper we will highlight the various application of UV light to kill the viruses and protect from disinfection areas contaminated from the novel corona virus (COVID-19). We will also highlight the basic study on coronavirus and how it was outbreak worldwide in the year 2020.
