Abstract

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, and low humidity. Therefore, it is feasible to use area ozonation in pharmacies - the front line of the healthcare system. Nevertheless, further work is needed to evaluate the effectiveness of ozone disinfection to reduce the transmission of this virus in pharmacies, hospitals, and other public environments.

新冠肺炎大流行期间社区药房臭氧消毒作为预防感染传播的可能措施

COVID-19大流行目前是全球卫生和经济的主要挑战之一。减少病毒传播的有效方法仍然是一个尚未得到满足的医疗需求。现有实验数据表明，臭氧、高温和低湿会对冠状病毒的存活产生负面影响。因此，在药房——医疗保健系统的第一线——使用区域臭氧化是可行的。然而，需要进一步的工作来评估臭氧消毒的有效性，以减少该病毒在药房、医院和其他公共环境中的传播。医学Pr. 2021;72(5):529-34。
