Australian scientists are developing a coating which can eliminate COVID-19 in hours, potentially removing the need for deep cleaning in public areas.
The coating is anticipated to drastically reduce transmission of the virus in airports, hospitals and schools.
LaserBond has teamed up with the University of South Australia to develop the antiviral copper coatings for frequently touched surfaces.
The coating is currently in early stages, but if processes go as planned it is hoped the copper coatings could be made commercially available by next year.
