IGEA Pharma (SIX: IGPH) today announced an explosion in the demand for dry aerosol devices in Italy as a result of the COVID-19 outbreak so severely affecting this country. IGEA operates in air and surfaces sanitization with aerosol technology-based devices following the understandings on the acquisition of privately held Medical Jet. Vincenzo Moccia, CEO of IGEA: "The proven action of our aerosol solutions together with Rely+On Virkon(R) in reducing a broad spectrum of viruses and bacteria is highly appreciated. We remain fully committed to contribute in solving the problems of contamination of the air and the surfaces in the environments with high infections and life-threatening risk". The demand for aerosol solutions in Italy increased by 20 times compared to historic demand.
