Covid-19 pandemic is showing no signs of slowing down, but India is opening up. People are stepping out more often to go to work, shopping and even meeting friends. The opening of metro services is a clear indication that life is slowly returning to normal. While hand sanitizers and masks have become a part of our lives, there are many gadgets in the market that claim to kill the coronavirus. Here are some of the companies that claim to prevent surface transmission of Covid-19 by killing the virus. (Disclaimer - ET Digital has not tested any of the products mentioned in this article and cannot vouch for its efficacy)
The first thing we learned about coronavirus is that it is highly contagious and that it could survive on any surface for a period of time. CoronaOven was developed from the same fear by the Bengaluru-based startup Log9's co-founders Akshay Singhal and Pankaj Sharma. The CoronaOven can disinfect any item, including masks, hospital PPE, tools and groceries. The company claims that the device can kill the virus in less than 10 minutes on any surface. People can sterilize their groceries, utensils, water bottles, other home appliances and accessories. CoronaOven is compatible with solid surfaces of plastic, metal, leather and fabric.

Its Elevator Remote Call Feature lets users call an elevator using WhatsApp and removes the need to touch buttons or displays. Physical distancing elevator floor stickers and elevator full load limit adjustment also ensure less crowding. The company's Elevator Air Purifier will use advanced photocatalytic oxidation (PCO) process developed by NASA for air control on spaceships- to improve air quality in the elevators by removing most of the potential pollutants, like bacteria, viruses, dust and odours, in the air. Kone's Handrail Sanitizer uses ultraviolet light to disinfect escalator handrails. Exposure to ultraviolet radiation helps reduce the reproduction of bacteria and viruses.
