One way we can help stop the spread of the virus is to sanitize and clean our devices regularly.</span></p><p style="color:inherit;text-align:left;font-size:11px;"><br></p><p style="color:inherit;text-align:left;font-size:11px;"><b><span style="font-size:16px;">Omicron Is on the Rise</span></b></p><p style="text-align:left;"><span style="font-size:16px;"><span style="color:inherit;">Scientists are continuing to study Omicron, the new COVID variant, but it appears to be more transmissible than the original SARS CoV-2 virus, </span><a href="https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/variants/omicron-variant.html" style="color:rgb(45, 180, 45);">according to the CDC</a><span style="color:inherit;">. Since this variant is even more likely to spread, it’s even more important that we take every safety precaution available to curb the spread of the new variant.</span></span></p><p style="color:inherit;text-align:left;font-size:11px;"><br></p><p style="color:inherit;text-align:left;font-size:11px;"><b><span style="font-size:16px;">Destroy Germs with UVC Sanitizing</span></b></p><p style="text-align:left;"><span style="font-size:16px;"><span style="color:inherit;">Did you know that phones tend to be a hotspot for bacteria? We use our phones constantly, wherever we go, and they collect countless germs along the way. One study found more than </span><a href="https://time.com/4908654/cell-phone-bacteria/" style="color:rgb(45, 180, 45);">17,000 bacterial gene copies</a><span style="color:inherit;"> on the phones they examined! Just as we wash our hands and wear our masks to stop germs, we should also remember to disinfect our phones.</span></span></p><p style="color:inherit;text-align:left;font-size:11px;"><br></p><p style="color:inherit;text-align:left;"><span style="font-size:16px;">So, how do we keep phones clean? Anti-bacterial sprays can damage our expensive devices and cleaning wipes create heaps of landfill waste. Plus, they need to be replaced and refilled constantly, which costs both money and time. UVC disinfection is a better solution: It uses UVC light to sanitize without any damage to the device and without frequent replacement costs. It destroys viruses, like COVID-19, and other bacteria at the molecular level to clean devices and prevent the spread of germs.</span></p><p style="color:inherit;text-align:left;font-size:11px;"><br></p><p style="color:inherit;text-align:left;font-size:11px;"><b><span style="font-size:16px;">Try Power Up’s UVC Charging Cart</span></b></p><p style="text-align:left;"><span style="font-size:16px;"><span style="color:inherit;">Power Up’s </span><a href="https://www.powerupconnect.com/uvc-charging-cart" style="color:rgb(45, 180, 45);">UVC Disinfection Charging Carts</a><span style="color:inherit;"> put the power of UVC disinfection into a convenient cart that can be placed in nearly any location.
