The Attleboro (Mass.) school district is sanitizing its facilities a little differently this year -- with the help of robots.
The robots feature cutting-edge sanitation technology that helps eliminate the spread of Covid-19 and other viruses, reports Business Wire.
The disinfection system is equipped with UV-C technology that disinfects the air and all surfaces the light can reach.
The district has deployed 10 disinfecting units for the new school year, one in each of nine buildings and a second unit inside the high school. The UV-C technology inactivates 99.9% of all viruses, bacteria and harmful pathogens including Covid-19, influenza and MRSA. The technology reduces the reliance on chemical cleaners that could be harmful to students and staff.
The district will deploy the disinfecting robots nightly at each school in classrooms, high-traffic areas, and nursing stations.
