In Italy, approximately 10 hospitals are already using ozone in the treatment of positive Covid-19 patients. This initiative arose from a letter sent on March 24, 2020 to the Scientific Society of Oxygen Ozone Therapy (SIOOT) and was authorized by the Scientific Secretariat of the President of the Istituto Superiore di Sanità (ISS).
In the application for authorization to use oxygen and ozone therapy, SIOOT recalled that its doctors have treated many patients with bronchopneumonia with ozone. The results of ozone therapy have been excellent. The duration of the disease was reduced and the prompt recovery from hypoxemia and the radiological picture in the patients stood out. Furthermore, the ozone practice proposed by the SIOOT is not incompatible with other pharmacological therapies. The hospitals are located in Piedmont, Lombardy, Emilia-Romagna, Veneto and Lazio.
In China, Zhou Muzhi, a professor at the University of Tokyo Keizai and president of the Cloud River Urban Research Institute, reported three great attributes that ozone has to treat the coronavirus:
Complete coverage. Ozone created by ozone generators or electrostatic air purifiers can reach all corners of the environment, which can overcome the problem that UV sterilization can only go up and down, leaving some places unsterilized.
High detergency. The oxidation of bacteria and viruses is the operation of ozone, without poisonous residues. On the contrary, the chemical disinfectant we use now is not only harmful to the human body, but will also cause a secondary population of poisonous waste. During the current epidemic, the excessive use of water disinfection has been a serious problem that we must pay attention to.
Convenience. Ozone can be produced by an ozone generator of different sizes according to the needs and they are suitable for a single room, large spaces or public transport such as buses, high speed railways, ships and airplanes.
The effectiveness of ozone in the treatment of bacteria and viruses is not only related to its concentration, temperature, humidity and exposure time, but also to the strains of bacteria.
According to the results of the experiment on how ozone kills the SARS virus (virus 80% similar to coronavirus) conducted by the P3 national laboratory and led by Professor Li Zelin, ozone is effective in killing the SARS virus inoculated into cells. kidney of green monkey, achieving a death rate of 99.22%. The virus found in Wuhan and the SARS virus belong to the coronavirus. Due to the great similarity between the two, it is reasonable to predict that ozone is equally effective in preventing and controlling coronavirus.
'' If ozone can be used in a human environment to kill the new coronavirus and clean the air, it will be a blessing to use it in hospitals, factories, public spaces, closed public transportation, and closed homes. In the midst of the epidemic, it is suggested that we can reasonably raise the standards for indoor ozone levels and try to use it for disinfection and sterilization in the human environment. '' Zelin assured.
In the Chinese country they have donated ozone generators to Huoshenshan Hospital and public hospitals, hoping to play a role in protecting the lives of doctors and saving infected patients.
According to the experiment, the relationship between ozone and microorganisms demonstrates the exquisite balance in living bodies on earth. On the one hand, without the protection of the ozone layer, bacteria and viruses cannot be found on the earth, and on the other, ozone with its strong oxidability will kill any microorganism.
In Spain, specifically in Trebujena, a town in Cádiz, educational, sports, social and senior centers will be disinfected with ozone to guarantee the well-being of its inhabitants. The project is led by the City Council of the municipality and the Provincial Council of this city. City councils of other Spanish municipalities have begun to imitate this ecological disinfection measure.
