Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic, which emerged in 2019, spread rapidly, exposing healthcare professionals and the healthcare system in particular and the entire society in general, to face a deadly virus. Learning how the virus spread will enable the development of physical methods that can prevent both COVID19 and future pandemics. Pandemics emerges when viruses are able to survive outside the host for contamination to occur. Viruses are known to spread extensively through aerosols and droplets because such environments provide conditions in which the virus can survive for a long time. Temperature and humidity parameters of aerosols and droplets also affect the survival of viruses. This article aims to analyze aspects related to destroying environments where viruses can live using infrared sources.
