UK-based Cicada has launched a long-lasting antimicrobial solution to remove COVID on surfaces. The company was established as a subsidiary of an automotive industry specialist Duracare to create safe and COVID-free areas with nanotechnology.
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) spreads when a person touches contaminated surfaces then directly touches their mouth, nose, or eyes. More than 68 million people have been infected worldwide at the time of writing.
