The experiment utilized an ozone generator in a sealed chamber with a sample of the virus. The potency of the virus had declined by more than 90% when subjected to low levels of ozone for 10 hours. 

“Transmission of the novel coronavirus may be reduced by continuous, low-concentration ozone treatment, even in environments where people are present, using this kind of system. We found it to be particularly effective in high-humidity conditions,” said lead researcher Takayuki Murata.
