There is a growing consensus that airborne transmission is the primary infection route of SARS-CoV-2. There is evidence that ventilation interventions can help reduce the number of infectious viral particles in the air. In most schools the existing ventilation levels are up to 2 ACH and thus insufficient to prevent transmission of SARS-COV-2. In schools the expected recommendations for disinfection purposes are 10-15 ACH. Philips UV-C Upper air devices are the only known air disinfection solution able to achieve the expected recommended 15-20 ACH, without draft. Its efficiency is proven in real-life setting in a laboratory environment with aerosolized SARS-COV-21
