As Israel continues to tackle, and hopefully overcome, COVID-19, other countries are still struggling to contain the deadly virus. In a recent gathering, the founders of Aura Air, a cutting-edge air purifying system, presented their product for use to various African ambassadors, from Ethiopia, Nigeria, Ghana, Rwanda, Angola, Cameroon, Democratic Republic of Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Mozambique, and Zambia.

The Aura Air system can eliminate a variety of viruses and bacteria at a rate of 99.97%, according to a study done by Sheba Medical Center. The system is currently implemented across Europe and Asia in schools, hotels, government buildings, and other venues.

Aviad Shnaiderman, CEO and co-founder of Aura Air says that “Unlike Israel, many countries around the world are far from seeing the end of the COVID-19 era, and it’s still necessary to find ways to maintain a routine that includes indoor activities under the current circumstances. “We’ve installed thousands of systems that contributed to saving lives around the world… We’re happy to bring Israeli technological capabilities to countries in Africa as well and to assist them in the fight against COVID19 and other diseases that are associated with polluted air.”
