Amid the coronavirus-induced lockdown, companies across the globe are making attempts to develop possible solutions to deal with the current crisis.
At a time when there is a huge demand for sanitizers, a Bengaluru start-up firm Biofi has developed a sanitization box that can sterilize 72 types of virus up to 99.99%. The price of the sanitising machine has been kept at Rs 13,000.

He went on to add, "The machine uses ultraviolet rays to kill the virus and it is very effective. The machine is available in three different sizes and can be used at homes, spas and hospitals."
However, with the outbreak of the coronavirus outbreak the demand of sanitizers has gone up and e-commerce companies have placed orders worth Rs 50,000.
"At this hour of crisis, e-commerce companies have placed orders with us worth Rs 50,000. We will reduce the price of the machine to make it affordable to the customers," MD added.
It is expected that the prize of the machine may go down upto Rs 3,000. Endorsing the product, Narayan said, "This would play a key role in containing the spread of the virus."
