When a patient is discharged the machine in brought in to ‘sterilize’ the room.

However, hospitals have limited equipment & can’t do every room.

There is a company that makes industrial lighting that emits the proper frequencies. These lights can suck air in and sterilize it before sending it back into the atmosphere- The plan is to use such lighting in schools, airports etc.
