OZONE STERILIZATION PROVEN TO KILL SARS-COV VIRUS <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There are currently no examples in the public domain, of ozone sterilization being used to kill the current strain of Coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2\n (technical name of the Coronavirus which causes the COVID-19 disease). \nHowever, there are reasons to believe it would be effective: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
