Galaxy Sanitizing Service Samsung's Way To Protect Its Customers From COVID-19

JAKARTA - Not a few technology companies are fighting the coronavirus or COVID-19 disease outbreak, one of which is the Samsung smartphone vendor. The company provides sanitation services by sterilizing smartphones for free in its stores.

Hand sanitizers and gloves are a safe way to fight the corona virus or COVID-19, but all of them are considered irrelevant if we keep touching smartphones that are dirty and full of germs, right?

Launching information from Digital Trends, through Samsung Service Centers and Galaxy Experience Stores in 19 countries, this South Korean vendor offers services to dissect its customers' smartphones.

Dubbed the Galaxy Sanitizing Service, Samsung will clean smartphones for free using UV-C light technology. These rays are able to kill bacteria and viruses effectively on the surface of smartphones and those around us.

The choice of this technology is based on the large number of harsh chemicals that can damage the device, Samsung chose UV-C light to be useful also for disinfecting smartwatches, wireless earbuds and tablets.

According to an advertisement found on the Samsung website in Malaysia, devices used for this sanitizing service have been tested to ensure that the UV-C light does not affect the performance of the smartphone being disinfected.

The service can also be used by anyone who visits a Samsung store or service center. It is also open to users who don't own a Samsung device.

Galaxy Sanitizing Service is available in countries including the United States, Argentina, Chile, Croatia, Denmark, Finland, Japan, Republic of Korea, Malaysia, New Zealand, Norway, Pakistan, Peru, Poland, Russia, Spain, Sweden, Ukraine, and Vietnam. .

However, it seems that this service will increasingly expand to Australia, Austria, Canada, Czech, France, Greece, Hong Kong, Hungary, India, Indonesia, Israel, Italy, Jordan, Kazakhstan, Latvia, Mexico, Netherlands, Panama, Philippines, Romania, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand, United Arab Emirates and United Kingdom immediately.

Although this does not guarantee that Samsung's sanitation services will kill all bacteria, germs and viruses, at least the public will consider this one of the many ways available to help protect them from COVID-19 which has been officially registered as a global pandemic case.
