Irobhothi entsha iya isetyenziselwa ukubulala iintsholongwane ezibhedlele. Lo matshini uyakwazi ukutshabalalisa i-coronavirus ngemizuzu nje emi-2 kwaye kungekudala unokusetyenziswa kwiindawo zikawonke-wonke njengendlela esebenzayo yokususa intsholongwane kwiindawo ezinabantu.
Inkonzo yokubulala iintsholongwane esekwe eTexas iXenes isandula ukubhengeza uvavanyo oluyimpumelelo lwerobhothi yayo yeLightStrike ngokuchasene ne-COVID-19. Lo matshini, owathengiswa eJapan ngumenzi wezixhobo zonyango uTerumo, ukhupha ukukhanya kubude obungama-200 ukuya kuma-312 nm, ongcolisa iibhedi, izibambo zeengcango kunye nezinye iindawo ezihlala ziphathwa ngabantu.
Emva kwemizuzu emibini ukuya kwemithathu, le mitha yeultraviolet iyishiya intsholongwane yonakele kakhulu ukuba isebenze kakuhle. Ngamanye amazwi, iphazamisa ukusebenza kwayo, iyenze ibe mandundu kakhulu. Irobhothi ikwangqinwe ukuba isebenza ngokuchasene neebhaktheriya ezixhathisa iziyobisi kunye nentsholongwane ye-Ebola. Irobhothi yeLightStrike yade yaboniswa njenge-99,99% esebenzayo ekupheliseni imaski ye-N95 ye-coronavirus.
Ngoku le robhothi isetyenziswa kumaziko ezonyango angaphezu kwama-500 ehlabathini lonke. UTerumo wafumana amalungelo okusasaza ngo-2017 kwaye wayenikela nge-15 yezigidi zeeyen (malunga ne-140 yeedola) emotweni. Ngeli xesha lobunzima, imfuno yesi sixhobo kulindeleke ukuba inyuke kuphela, ngakumbi ezibhedlele nakwezinye iindawo zonyango.
