With the arrival of autumn and winter, flu and norovirus cases are surging worldwide, posing significant public health challenges.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), seasonal flu causes 3-5 million severe cases annually and leads to 290,000-650,000 respiratory-related deaths globally.

Additionally, a recent BBC report highlighted a food poisoning outbreak in South Korea where approximately 1,000 people fell ill after consuming kimchi contaminated with norovirus.


UV Disinfection: An Effective Prevention Method

Amid these dual threats, ultraviolet (UV) disinfection has gained attention for its safety, efficiency, and ease of use, making it a widely recommended approach to virus prevention.

Flu Virus Control

Research indicates that flu viruses are particularly vulnerable to UV light. UV disinfection effectively eliminates flu viruses and is suitable for use in homes, public spaces, and on surfaces.

Norovirus Prevention

The General Office of China's National Disease Control Bureau recently issued the Technical Guidelines for Disinfection to Prevent Norovirus Infections in Key Venues such as Schools. The guidelines highlight that norovirus is highly resistant to commonly used disinfectants and that alcohol is ineffective against it. Therefore, high-level disinfectants or effective physical disinfection methods are recommended. For routine preventive disinfection, physical disinfection methods are prioritized as the preferred choice.

How Norovirus Spreads

  • Person-to-Person: Through the fecal-oral route, such as exposure to aerosolized particles from vomit or contact with contaminated surfaces.

  • Foodborne: By consuming food contaminated with norovirus.

  • Waterborne: Through contaminated water sources, including municipal water and bottled water.


UV light is an effective physical disinfection method that addresses these transmission pathways. It is widely used for disinfecting drinking water, spaces, and surfaces, significantly reducing the risk of virus spread.
