In late 2019, a new coronavirus, known as a severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), was identified as a cause of numerous pneumonia cases in Wuhan, a city in Hubei Province, China. This virus quickly spread and caused a global pandemic. 2020, the World Health Organisation (WTO) named the new coronavirus dis-ease COVID-19. Most coronaviruses are non-hazardous, but the new virus that causes COVID-19 is an exception to the rule. The purpose of this article was to evaluate the effects of different spectra of UV and HINS rays on COVID-19 and their market introduction in the context of global demand. There are three main tasks of the study. First, verifica-tion of the latest COVID-19 virus studies in terms of accuracy and test duration, depending on whether a sample is taken from surfaces or from an aerosol. Second, comparison of COVID-19 identification by employing viral polymer-ase chain reaction (PCR), antigen detection and other methods. Third, economic description and justification of the testing algorithm. The results indicate that SARS-CoV-2 is a highly contagious coronavirus that causes COVID-19 and is transmitted through air droplets and aerosols as well as through close contacts. The high risk of SARS-CoV-2 spread in confined spaces and through aerosol-generating medical procedures has been confirmed. SARS-CoV-2 can remain viable in air in liquid droplets <1 µm in diameter for up to 3 hours.  Aerosol (<5 μm) SARS-CoV-2 persists longer on plastic and stainless steel than on copper and cardboard. SARS-CoV-2 is sensitive to ultraviolet light. The use of UV and HINS rays in the production of COVID-19 products also has a significant impact on national economies.
