Applied UV Receives Order from Tennessee Department of Corrections for its Scientific Air S-400 Patented 24/7 Large Air Volume, Whole Room UV-C Pathogen Killing Technology

Order represents entry into a significant new market vertical (prisons and correctional facilities) for the company's pathogen killing technology

Applied UV, Inc. (NasdaqCM:AUVI) ("Applied UV" or the "Company"), a pathogen elimination technology company that applies the power of narrow-range ultraviolet light ("UVC") for surface areas and catalytic bioconversion technology for air purification to destroy pathogens safely, thoroughly, and automatically, announces it has received a significant initial order from the Tennessee Department of Correction ("TDOC") for its Scientific Air S-400patented 247 large air volume, whole room UV-C pathogen killing technology for use in its Prison and Correctional Facilities protecting incarcerated individuals and staff from COVID-19 and other pathogens. The Scientific Air technology is currently deployed and supports patients, staff and visitors in large medical facilities and hospitals across the country as they address the growing need for effective and safe airborne Infection prevention. With this order, Applied UV is making its entry into the prison and correctional facilities vertical, a large and significant new market

TDOC is a Cabinet-level agency within the Tennessee state government manages and operates 10 adult prisons, contracts with a private prison management company for the operation of one prison, and contracts with several counties for the operation of three other prisons, collectively housing some 21,000 offenders.

Incarcerated people are infected by the coronavirus at a rate more than five times higher than the nation's overall rate, according to research reported in the Journal of the American Medical Association in July 2020. The reported death rate of inmates (39 deaths per 100,000) is also higher than the national rate (29 deaths per 100,000). A significant and increasing percentage of the US population works or resides in correctional facilities. The prevalence of infectious diseases among incoming inmates is substantial, and the conditions that exist within jails and prisons contribute to the further amplification of contagious illnesses. Jails and prisons represent unique and challenging environments in which to implement effective infection-control strategies. In addition to immunization programs and other preventive measures, deploying portable air filter systems like the Scientific Air S-400 can provide a solution to the unique challenges posed by the spread of SARS-CoV-2 and other respiratory infections in prison settings and create a cleaner, safer environment for inmates, staff and visitors.

"We are very pleased to announce this significant initial order from TDOC for the S-400 ," said Max Munn, Founder, Interim CEO and President of Applied UV. "Our work with hundreds of large healthcare facilities across the country, where pathogen spread is an ever-present challenge, has demonstrated the clear and effective performance of the pathogen destruction capabilities of our air purification technology. Prisons represent a significant challenge and opportunity, and we believe our mobile S-400 whole-room disinfection system is the ideal solution for most correctional facilities. We look forward to installing the systems at TDOC and vigorously pursuing new opportunities with local, state and federal correctional facilities to help reduce the spread of SARS-CoV-2 and other respiratory infections."
