Caution!: The World Health Organization (WHO) reports that UV radiation can cause skin irritation & damage your eyes. Therefore cleaning your hands with an alcohol-based hand rub or washing your hands with soap & water are considered the most effective ways to remove the virus. I wish you well with your health!
