Sick of Getting Sick?

This Innovation Could Fight Germs in Schools and Hospitals — And Help Prevent the Next Pandemic

This project was submitted by Rickard Vikstrom. It was a runner-up for the “Simple Explainer” prize in our Pandemics course (Sept 2024). Participants worked on these projects for 4 weeks. The text below is an excerpt from the final project.

Imagine walking into your office, school, or local hospital without worrying about catching the flu, COVID-19, or whatever illness is going around. Sounds impossible? An emerging technology called Far-UVC could help make this a reality and fundamentally change how we protect ourselves from airborne diseases in indoor spaces—both during normal times and future pandemics.
