Still, we have kept the beep time at 3 minutes as a precaution. UV sterilisation has been in use for a long time. We clean even water with this. In addition to the UV BOX360, the company has also launched SHIELD360, UV room Disinfection systems which can be extremely useful at both domestic and business segments, especially in hospitals, restaurants, movie theatres, public transport among other establishments.”
