While the sun may feel<\/em> good on your skin, it is highly unlikely that it will prevent you from catching COVID-19. It will not rid your body of the disease if you already have it. And it could hurt you, too. Here\u2019s what you need to know now.<\/h4>\n

During this season of social isolation, there has been a massive amount of information \u2014 some good, some not-so-good \u2014 about how to avoid getting COVID-19. You may recently have read or heard something about the disinfecting power of ultraviolet (UV) light, which we know is emitted by the sun. But we also know that exposure to UV light can lead to skin cancer, so The Skin Cancer Foundation dug deeper to root out the facts about UV and germs.<\/p>\n

The sun emits energy that we call light, and we describe this light in terms of its wavelengths along the electromagnetic spectrum. UV radiation is one form of energy on this spectrum, and it\u2019s important to understand that there are three types of UV light, each with different wavelengths and properties.<\/p>\n

UVA light is responsible for tanning and can cause premature aging as well as damage that can lead to skin cancer. UVB causes sunburns and the damage that can lead to skin cancer. Broad-spectrum sunscreen (with SPF of at least 15 for incidental exposure and at least 30 for extended exposure), along with shade and proper protective clothing, hats and sunglasses, all help to protect you from UVA and UVB rays.<\/p>\n

When you read or hear about germ-killing UV, however, don\u2019t be fooled into thinking that exposing your unprotected skin to sunlight might kill germs on your skin or even inside your body, says Steven Q. Wang, MD, director of dermatologic surgery and dermatology at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in Basking Ridge, New Jersey.<\/p>\n

It is UVC light, with the tiniest and most energetic of the UV wavelengths, that is sometimes called \u201cgermicidal UV.\u201d \u201cHowever, UVC is very carcinogenic,\u201d says Dr. Wang. \u201cIt is lethal. The reason we don\u2019t worry about it when outside is because it does not reach the Earth\u2019s surface.\u201d If it did reach your skin, he explains, within minutes of exposure it would damage DNA in your skin cells. Similarly, though, artificial UVC light can damage the genetic material of bacteria and viruses, including, potentially, the novel coronavirus that causes COVID-19.<\/p>\n

For decades, devices emitting UVC light have been used by hospitals to kill pathogens on surfaces and in the air. \u201cBut because the UVC radiation is so dangerous, these devices are only used when rooms are unoccupied,\u201d says Dr. Wang. Handheld and other small UVC disinfectant lamps or \u201cwands\u201d are available for purchase online and may be effective at killing germs on surfaces such as counters, doorknobs and cellphones. \u201cI cannot stress enough that these specifically designed UVC light sources are not safe for use on humans or pets,\u201d Dr. Wang says. \u201cYou could be risking your life to use these devices like that.\u201d For the first time ever, in fact, New York City shut down the subway system this spring each night to thoroughly disinfect trains, and UVC light is one method being used. The cars must be empty to do this safely, and anyone operating UVC devices, on trains and in hospitals, does so from outside of the room or car.<\/p>\n

\u201cI cannot stress enough that these specifically designed UVC light sources are not safe for use on humans or pets,\u201d Dr. Wang says.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Can sunlight help disinfect objects, though, like laundry, shoes, packages or mail? We hear about people putting such items in the sun \u201cto quarantine\u201d for a few hours. \u201cViruses degrade over time on objects like paper, cardboard and fabric,\u201d says Dr. Wang, \u201cand while it won\u2019t hurt to leave most common items out for sunlight exposure, people should follow the CDC guidelines to prevent COVID exposure.\u201d<\/p>\n

While more research is needed on how coronaviruses and sunlight interact, we have known for decades that UV radiation<\/a> can damage your skin and lead to skin cancer. The bottom line? Practice proven prevention on both fronts this summer, advises Dr. Wang: Stay home when you can, wash your hands frequently, practice social distancing when you do go out \u2014 and protect your skin from the sun!<\/p>\n
