UCLA researchers find respirators can be cleaned and reused in case of shortage

Some respirators can be effectively decontaminated of the coronavirus and reused, which could help doctors when protective equipment supplies run low, UCLA researchers found. When using vaporized hydrogen peroxide for 10 minutes, the researchers found no traces of SARS-CoV-2 on N95 respirators, said Amandine Gamble, a postdoctoral researcher at UCLA and a co-author of a study published in September in the Emerging Infectious Diseases Journal.

They found that using vaporized hydrogen peroxide was more effective than using dry heat, ultraviolet light or ethanol spray in decontaminating the respiratory. However, the respirator can only be decontaminated thrice before it loses its effectiveness in filtering out the COVID-19 virus. (Lauren Man/Assistant Photo editor)

UCLA-led study suggests COVID-19 may have been in LA earlier than previously thought

COVID-19 may have been in the Los Angeles area before the first identified cases in the United States, according to a UCLA-led study. The researchers analyzed electronic health records from more than 2.5 million annual patient visits across three hospitals and 180 clinics in the LA area between July 2014 and February, according to the study published in the Journal of Medical Internet Research.
