With ultraviolet rays ... robots kill "Corona" inside a train station in London

Robots able to kill the emerging coronavirus using ultraviolet rays are scouring St Pancras International, one of London's largest railway stations, to restore customers' confidence in transportation safety.

"The main goal for us is to gain the trust of customers," said Jay Newton, Chief Operations and Station Engineering of the High Speed ​​One Channel Railway.

"We are the first train station to bring this kind of technology because we want to allow people to use the train station safely ... and to gradually return to normal," he added.

The station said that robots use ultraviolet rays to comb through large areas without the need for disinfecting chemicals, adding that this technology is able to kill nearly 100 percent of bacteria and viruses, including the Corona virus, on surfaces and in the surrounding air within minutes.

St Pancras International is the station where the Eurostar line ends with Paris, Brussels and Amsterdam and is also connected to six London Underground lines.
