The machine has 3 lights that emit UVC radiation for 3 minutes which kills bacteria and viruses on surfaces including COVID-19. The county has three of the machines and use them whenever an employee either has tested positive for the coronavirus or is suspected of having been exposed to it. Marion County has 12 more of the units on order. The Marion County Sheriff’s Office has also requested several of the MoonBeam units, which are on order. The technology has been proven to effectively combat viruses and bacteria in hospital operating rooms. [Bruce Ackerman/Ocala Gazette] 2020.
