PhoneSoap XL for light cleaning of tablets

Tablets are also quickly covered with germs if they are not cleaned regularly. So if you suspect pathogens are also on these mobile devices, you can order the larger version of the PhoneSoap device - you can find all the details here. However, the dimensions and therefore the fact whether your device fits in there at all must be taken into account. With a height of 25 cm, a width of 11 cm and a depth of 41 cm, for example, a 12,9-inch iPad Pro from Apple can easily be accommodated. All other Apple iPads also fit into it.

Can UV light kill the coronavirus?

I wouldn't bet on that. If you have a well-founded suspicion that you have come into contact with the coronavirus (a trip to Wuhan, for example), you should not use blogs anyway, but rather contact your doctor for further steps. In the article linked above, iMore includes the fact that UV or UV-C light can kill viruses Mention of this study close, but doesn't prove it. Because in the paper it is clear that not all viruses, but mainly bacteria are switched off by irradiation. I do not recommend relying on viruses of any kind (coronavirus, flu, SARS, etc.) to be rendered harmless with a lamp. If in doubt, use a disinfectant spray, rubbing alcohol or the like.
