We have witnessed the emergence of some new infectious diseases, many of which were major public health threats that were met with important infection prevention strategies. Now, an outbreak of novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2), which causes the corona-virus disease 2019 (abbreviated COVID-19) has spread rapidly. Environmental contamination of hospital surfaces primarily contributes to infection transmission for many pathogens. Transmission of the COVID-19 virus has been linked to close contact between individuals within closed settings, such as households, health facilities, assisted living, and residential institution environments. Besides, community settings outside of health-care settings have been found vulnerable to COVID-19 transmission events including publicly accessible buildings, faith-based community centres, markets, transportation, and business settings. The level of surface contamination with COVID-19 is not familiar and has not been discovered yet but studies have revealed that disinfection leads to decreased transmission. Significant reduction in infection rates after chemical fogging of the hospital has been observed in several studies. [A]. With the objective of effective disinfection, we bring you the concept of fogging technique. For the same, an efficient fog generator has been designed by us for disinfection of any surface and inanimate objects. Our machine uses thermal fogging differently it generates vapour of disinfectant liquid on passing with high pressure through a narrow heated copper pipe. The particle size of fog (controllable in our instrument) being smaller than that of liquid, have more mobility and penetration to deeper surfaces which gives proper and effective disinfection. This allows us to achieve our target of inhibition of the transmission of virus from inanimate objects to human beings. So, disinfection using fog will be a boon to society during the crucial time of the pandemic.
