The city of Bnei Brak, which has been dealing with a major outbreak of the Corona virus, with a large number of patients, is now trying to bring the city and its residents back to a normal routine in synagogues, mikvahs and other institutions. As part of the pilot that began this morning, about 50 mikvahs across the city will be fully disinfected using the unique substance, which has also been extensively tested against the Corona virus. Bnei Brak Municipality believes that the disinfection process will allow residents to return to the mikvahs, which are part of the city's routine.

The product was originally developed for military use against anthrax and viruses, is patented and has been in the IDF's emergency warehouses for a number of years, in the event of a biological threat. The active substance in the product sticks to the surface and continues to perform long-term disinfection while killing and repelling 100% of the bacteria and infections. Following the Corona crisis, Tera Novel aims to find targeted and innovative solutions to prevent the spread and infection of the Corona virus in hospitals, airports, public transport, the military, nursing homes and public institutions. 

Cohen Vision Foundation Chairman Tera Novel: "The unique development of the Institute for Biological Research in Israel has enabled us today to begin a disinfectant disinfection procedure in the city of Bnei Brak in a way that will allow residents to return to the routine knowing that they are protected against corona virus and other infections. This is a breakthrough in the environmental war in the Corona virus and in fact every other virus or pollutant. The antiseptic allows for maximum protection while fully reducing the virus and can be used on vertical and horizontal wet surfaces, making it ideal for baths, swimming pools and, in fact, for any institution that requires a disinfection. "

Mandy Segal, director of the mikvah area of ​​Bnei Brak: "We at Bnei Brak want the general population and anyone who wants to dip and bathe in mikvahs around the city, to feel safe doing so. Together with Tera Novel, we have decided on a comprehensive solution that will allow maximum disinfection of mikvahs, to allow immersion in the experience. Safe, pleasant and fearless. "
