A bus disinfected with ultraviolet rays as part of measures against spread of Covid-19 in Shanghai.
Shanghai public transport firm Yanggao has converted a regular cleaning room into a UV light disinfection chamber for buses – cutting a 40-minute process down to just five minutes. Staff drive one bus at a time into the chamber – which has been equipped with 210 UV tubes – and leave the room before activating the system, bathing the vehicle in a blue-white hue.With around 1,000 buses needing disinfection daily, the UV system has reduced the amount of staff overtime and manpower needed for regular public transport disinfection.
Paul Tambyah, president of the Asia Pacific Society of Clinical Microbiology and Infection, said UV disinfection is effective but needs to be used with care as the light can cause skin cancer.
