Due to extreme shortages of personal protective equipment caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, many healthcare workers will be forced to recycle protective masks intended for disposal after a single use. We propose investigating the use of ultraviolet germicidal irradiation to sterilize masks of SARS-CoV-2 for safer reuse.
由于 COVID-19 大流行导致个人防护设备极度短缺,许多医护人员将被迫回收一次性使用后应丢弃的防护口罩。我们建议研究使用紫外线杀菌照射对 SARS-CoV-2 口罩进行消毒,以更安全地重复使用。
