Chemical disinfectants: Various types of chemical disinfectants are used in portals, some of which are intended for disinfection of surfaces, and spraying them on the human body from all directions may lead to their inhalation or access to sensitive parts, which may lead to many health damages.
Ultraviolet (UV) rays: UVC rays with short and dangerous waves that may damage the genetic material, whether in human cells or in viral molecules, are used in sterilizing hospitals, airplanes, and offices, as well as in purifying drinking water.
Whereas, the committee ended up emphasizing all governmental and private sectors after using any techniques, interventions, tools, products, or supplies to control Corona Virus (Covid-19) directly or indirectly, which was not stipulated in the evidence of the National Center for Disease Prevention and Control “prevention” Which requires these products to be approved by the authority before being approved in the guide.
