SEATTLE, Jan. 27, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- As President
Joe Biden's COVID-19 plan
prioritizes school reopening and the Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC) reported Tuesday there appears to be limited
COVID-19 spread within schools when safety precautions are
implemented, there is renewed focus on quickly implementing proven
mitigation efforts, such as UVC lighting, to combat the pandemic.
Safeology™ (www.safeology.com) UVC products use research-proven
technology to remove 99.9 percent of COVID-19 from the air and
surfaces.
The results of Safeology's recently completed Level-3 Biosafety
Laboratory research show the company's UVC technology to be an
important scientific breakthrough that offers a clear path to
making public spaces safer and significantly reducing the risk of
COVID-19 transmission.
Based in Everett, WA, Safeology
was founded in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Their UVC devices
qualify under the Buy American Act and address the mitigation
measures outlined by President Biden in his Executive Order
supporting the reopening and continuing operation of schools and
early childhood education providers.
"The science is there to support safely opening our schools,
provided mask mandates and other mitigation measures are followed,"
says Dr. George Diaz, Section Chief,
Infectious Diseases, for Providence Regional Medical Center and
Safeology Scientific Advisory Board Member. He also treated the
first known patient with COVID-19 in the
United States in January of 2020. "The use of UVC is a
practical and proven solution whose time has come. We can use UVC
lighting to safely clean schools and other public areas," Dr. Diaz
adds.
"We're pleased that President Biden is focused on reopening
schools as quickly as possible, and we have the UVC products that
make this possible," adds Jim
Mischel, Safeology CEO. "For less than a dollar a day, our
UVC Fixtures can quickly and safely remove 99.9 percent of
SARS-CoV-2 virus from the air, virtually eliminating the airborne
transmission of COVID-19."
The recommended products for schools to safely and quickly
inactivate coronavirus in the air include Upper Room UVC Linear
Wall and Linear Recessed Fixtures and Mobile Air Purifiers, all of
which can be safely used when people are present, making them ideal
for continual use in occupied spaces such as classrooms, lunchrooms
and locker rooms. Safeology also manufactures UVC Towers that focus
on inactivating surface viruses.
