Alexandria, VA, Dec. 07, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — As colder temperatures force many dining patrons indoors throughout the Commonwealth, Alexandria Restaurant Partners (ARP)<\/a> has announced that they are stepping up their sanitization efforts. Two of ARP\u2019s signature Old Town Alexandria, Virginia restaurants, Mia\u2019s Italian Kitchen and Vola\u2019s Dockside Grill, are now equipped with state-of-the-art sanitization lights. Called\u00a0 Healthe SPACE<\/a>\u2122, this cutting-edge technology developed by Healthe Inc.<\/a> uses Far-UVC 222 light to provide real-time mitigation and sanitize indoor air and surfaces in occupied spaces.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen it comes to protecting our guests and employees, we are not leaving anything to chance, especially as a rapid rise in COVID-19 cases puts new restrictions on the hospitality industry,\u201d said ARP Partner, Scott Shaw. \u201cThanks to Healthe, we will have an added layer of protection to complement the existing technology we have in place to help protect our staff and patrons as well as keep our restaurants safely open for business.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

ARP has installed Healthe SPACE in the fully tented outdoor dining space at Mia\u2019s Italian Kitchen and in Vola\u2019s Dockside Grill\u2019s winter indoor lounge. SPACE is a ceiling-mounted light that produces a combination of general illumination and Far-UVC 222 sanitizing light to clean air and surfaces. SPACE replaces traditional downlight cans and can be easily retrofitted into existing standard 6\u201d housings.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Healthe\u2019s technology complements ARP\u2019s other ongoing sanitization efforts, including their recent installation of air purification technology in all of its Virginia restaurants to eliminate airborne particles, odors and pathogens.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is certainly a precarious time for many businesses and we are committed to doing everything we can to help them be forward thinking leaders when it comes to health and wellness,\u201d said Healthe Chief Commercial Officer Troy Temple. \u201cBusiness to customer trust is so important and our sanitization solutions help entities like Alexandria Restaurant Partners to assure employees and customers that they are deploying germicidal measures that work in real-time.\u201d<\/p>\n

Healthe\u2019s sanitization solutions are in use today throughout many sectors of our economy. Its products include a walkthrough portal (Healthe ENTRY) which sanitizes the surfaces of clothing and personal belongings as well an air sanitizing troffer (Healthe AIR). They include Washington, D.C.\u2019s oldest private social service agency, Central Union Mission, Sauf Haus and Public Bar (Washington, D.C.), the famous Magnolia Bakery (New York City), the iconic Seattle Space Needle and the Miami Dolphins football facilities. These solutions are designed to complement existing health safety protocols such as wearing masks and proper social distancing.\u00a0<\/p>\n

A growing library of evidence, including independent research backed by many peer-reviewed scientific and medical journals, demonstrates a clear role for Far-UVC light in promoting human health and wellness. This includes being effective at inactivating viral particles in the air and on surfaces as well as being safe for use in indoor environments. One recent study<\/a>, led by one of the world\u2019s leading Far-UVC researchers, Dr. David Brenner, director of the Center for Radiological Research at Columbia University, demonstrated the technology\u2019s safety and efficacy against airborne viruses, including coronaviruses.\u00a0<\/p>\n
