This paper wants to recommend the use of disinfection systems that can help cover the base of fomite transmission which studies have shown to possibly cause covid-19. In this economically unstable climate, we cannot afford to not cover all bases in the mitigation of this virus transmission, where even a small amount of viral particles can infect a person and create a domino effect due to its high transmission rate. The initial and running cost of these disinfection systems are minor compared to the damage covid-19 has caused to the global economy, especially in Singapore, where our major business and tourism sectors have taken a hard hit.
