Ozone disinfection of community pharmacies during the COVID-19 pandemic as a possible preventive measure for infection spread

The COVID-19 pandemic is currently one of the major global health and economic challenges. An efficient method for reducing the transmission of the virus is a still unmet medical need. Existing experimental data have shown that coronavirus survival is negatively impacted by ozone, high temperature,...

Existing experimental data have shown that coronavirus survival is negatively impacted by ozone, high temperature, and low humidity.
