Abstract

Abstract: The results of experimental studies of the effect of ultraviolet radiation in the UVA wavelength range safe for humans on the β-coronavirus infective properties are presented. Bovine coronavirus not pathogenic for humans is selected as a prototype of the COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2) pathogenic agent. LEDs with wavelengths of 371 nm and 401 nm are used as a radiation source. It is shown that a dose-dependent decrease in the virus infectious titer is observed for both UVA wavelengths.
